The Drinks Bakery
Picture this:
you’re hosting an impromptu get-together. The drinks are flowing, your guests are mingling, and you’ve curated the perfect playlist for the evening.
You want to serve up some wee snacks for your guests, but the only thing you've got in the house is an odd assortment of crisps and a half-eaten bag of nuts.
Enter: The Drinks Bakery.
The Drinks Bakery hand bakes all of their Drink Biscuits in their Highlands location. Each biscuit is expertly flavour-profiled to compliment your choice of beverage for the evening. Our ideal Bon Accord post-work team picks would be:
- Pecorino, Rosemary & Scottish Seaweed - a fab match for Karen and Toni, who love a G&T
- Parmesan, Toasted Pine Nuts & Basil - these go nicely with Ryan and Nathan’s penchant for a good lager
- Mature Cheddar, Chilli & Almond - the perfect snack for Jen & Isy’s taste for Malbec!
Spice Pots
Scotland has long had a love affair with curry. Scottish recipe books first documented Indian dishes as far back as the 18th century. The chicken tikka masala is even said to have been created by Indian immigrants to Glasgow in the 1970s! Curry is now well-established as one of Scotland’s most popular types of food.
With simple blends and recipes, Spice Pots promise to bring that well-known delight of a heartwarming Scottish curry to your door.
With the colder months rolling in, there is nothing better than being able to curl up on the couch with a bowl of something to warm you up. And curry is a perfect meal for sharing! If you want to upgrade your spice rack, Spice Pots has you covered.
Sweetdram
Not to brag, but we have the best office neighbours. We’re lucky enough to share a building with the folks over at Sweetdram, who create botanical flavour-forward spirits that defy definitions and transcend trends. They're sustainability champions who grow botanic ingredients on site and composting as much as possible in their production process.
If you're a discerning drinker looking to add something of intrigue to your bar cart, Sweetdram is for you.
- Escubac, a ‘new world’ aperitif based on an old-world recipe, offers itself as a gin alternative
- Whiskey Amaro is an inventive blend of whiskey and Italian digestif
- Smoked Spiced Rum sits somewhere between Caribbean rum and single malt
Fun fact: The folks at Sweetdram have one of the biggest and coolest record collections we've ever seen!
Bon Accord
We couldn’t *not* mention ourselves! From the kids to the adults, the old-school flavour-lovers to the new-school adventurers, we’re a soft drink and mixer company with something for everyone in the family to enjoy.
