GET THE DRINKS IN: Lockdown Liquor Hail Mary

Regular SLMan readers will know we’re big fans of Lockdown Liquor – the overnight success from lockdown 1.0 – so it’s safe to say we’re pretty excited about its latest collaboration with The Pickle House. The pair’s new Hail Mary is a take on the classic bloody Mary, featuring vodka, a spiced tomato mix, lemon and sriracha. Ideal for weekend brunch (or a Saturday morning remedy), the pre-mixed cocktail is best served over ice with the usual accompaniments. Bottles start from £12.99 and are available for nationwide delivery.
