Post-work cocktails when the sun properly shines are practically mandatory in Brighton. So, whether you’ve fled Sally from Accounts, abandoned your overheating laptop, or simply shopped yourself into submission, Blossoms’ two-for-£14 cocktails are a siren call worth answering.
What You’ll Love
- Two cocktails for £14 (yes, really)
- Expertly made drinks that don’t cut corners
- A stylish, expanded space in the heart of Brighton
- Japan-inspired small plates and bao to keep things going
- A lively after-work atmosphere from Monday to Thursday
A great deal to share
In what Gen Z appears to call a ‘cozzie livs’ episode, £7 for an expertly made, beautifully presented and genuinely delicious cocktail is tantamount to tongue tantalisation.
It helps that Blossoms Brighton looks so lovely, both outside and in. There are cherry blossom flourishes, striking Japanese wall art, a bar of beauty, and some of the best toilets in Brighton. Due to demand, they’ve recently knocked through to next door, gleefully expanding the space.
Shaken, stirred and very well served
We visited as the Blossoms team were rolling out the two-for-£14 cocktail deal and, in the name of pure research, sampled a few standouts. (They all appealed, but it was a school night and we are, nominally, adults.)
Shaken by the suitably fabulous Sarah and delivered by the effortlessly engaging Stefan, we began with the Gin & Bare It – and we did. A bright, sprightly mix of gin, cranberry, rhubarb, orgeat, lemon and soda that added a zing to our smiles.
Encouraged by Stefan, we moved on to the Medicina Latina: tequila lifted with maple, lime and ginger, a concoction that suggests – optimistically – some vague medicinal virtue. We chose to believe.
Reluctantly limiting ourselves to three (conversation had already turned to fixing the world), we closed with The Solero One, a dessert-leaning number nodding to the ice lolly. Vodka, vanilla, mango, passionfruit, yuzu and aquafaba come together in something dangerously easy to drink and entirely appropriate for spring/summer 2026.
Stay a little longer
Post-work, a selection of Japan-inspired small plates and bao enable further cocktail indulgence before heading home.
The new after-work ritual
The two-for-£14 selection is thoughtful, seductive and very easy to get carried away with. Add an on-point playlist, the reliably warm Blossoms welcome, and a bill that feels suspiciously modest, and Monday to Thursday, 4–8pm looks a lot like the new Friday.
