Sip the city: a cocktail for every day of the week

A week in the city always has its own rhythm. Some days call for easygoing evenings, others for something celebratory — and every so often you just need a drink that feels a little special. That’s the joy of cocktails: there’s one to match every mood, every moment and every day of the week.

 

With London as Beefeater’s home, it only feels right to map your week in cocktails. From a refreshing Monday reset to a Sunday brunch staple, here’s how to enjoy the city — and your drinks — in style. And with London Cocktail Week taking over the capital every October, there’s no better time to plan your own cocktail line-up.

ALL GIN COCKTAILS

Monday: Beefeater 0.0 & Tonic

 

Ease into the week with a Beefeater 0.0 & Tonic. It’s alcohol-free but still carries the crisp, citrusy botanicals of Beefeater London Dry, this time made with our non-alcoholic drink. A refreshing way to mark the start of the week.

 

Pour it over ice, add a wheel of lemon, and you’ve got yourself a refreshing ritual that makes Monday evenings feel a little brighter — perfect with a good catch-up or your favourite series.

Tuesday: Pink Gin Cosmo

Who says weekends should have all the fun? The Pink Gin Cosmo proves that Tuesdays in the city can be just as buzzing. 

Fruity, chic and unapologetically pink, it’s Beefeater’s twist on the cranberry-fuelled Cosmopolitan made with Beefeater Pink Strawberry. Ideal for that “Tuesdays are the new Thursdays” catch-up.

Wednesday: Martini

Midweek drinks deserve something iconic. The Gin Martini is smooth, sharp and forever stylish, the kind of serve that instantly elevates a Wednesday night. Especially when made with the clean, citrus botanicals of Beefeater London Dry.

Whether you’re winding down or heading out for dinner in the city, a Martini makes midweek feel special. So how are you having yours? Check out our top Martini variations to pick your favourite.

Beefeater Negroni 0.0

Thursday: 0% Negroni

Thursdays are about easing into the weekend and our non-alcoholic Negroni is just the cocktail for it. Our 0.0 take on the Negroni, it brings all the bold, bittersweet flavour of the original, but with a lighter touch.

It’s the perfect pause button: pour one after work, sip slowly and get ready for whatever Friday has in store — a great way to enjoy the ritual of a cocktail as the week winds down.

Friday: Beefeater Gimlet

The Beefeater Gimlet has Friday written all over it. Bright, zesty, and effortlessly cool, it’s the kind of cocktail that makes that first sip of the weekend a celebration.

Whether you’re heading out with friends or raising a glass at home, the Gimlet brings energy, freshness and a little London spirit to your Friday night.

Saturday: Spicy Mango Martini

Weekends are for mixing it up. The Spicy Mango Martini turns up the heat, blending sweet mango with fiery kick for a cocktail that’s as lively as a Saturday night out.

It’s one to enjoy before heading to a gig, or as the star serve at a dinner party with friends. Either way, it brings a fun edge to your weekend.

Sunday: Red Snapper

Sundays are all about slowing down, and the Beefeater Red Snapper is made for it. A gin twist on the classic Bloody Mary, it’s savoury, satisfying and pairs perfectly with a late brunch.

Pair it with eggs, pancakes or a lazy Sunday roast, and you’ve got a cocktail that lets you savour the last moments of the weekend in style.

Every day has its own flavour, and with Beefeater, there’s a cocktail to match. From alcohol-free summer drinks to spiced cocktails, your week in the city never has to taste the same twice.
