Cocktails on Wheels

Ever heard the twinkling of an ice cream van and thought to yourself, ‘If only there was something a bit stronger than a cider lolly’? If some are to be believed, stronger things are available from ice cream vans in certain areas, but let’s not get into that now – what I’m on about it the latest idea from chief drinks maker at Northern Quarter bar Apotheca, Carl Peters. He’s bought an old ice cream van and turned it into a mobile bar, serving up cocktails and drinks at parties and events. Have a look:

It’s even kept its original jingle, although improper use could see a barrage of soon to be disappointed children charging forth with 99 flakes in mind. At least their parents would be happy. Available for hire, The Cocktail Van offers a drinks service for all types of parties and events with a ‘professional mixologist’ Carl at the helm.

Our verdict: Mobile booze is definitely a good thing.
