SLOWPOUR
Tucked beneath Liverpool's much-loved Ropes & Twines on Bold Street, Slowpour is one of the UK's most exciting new cocktail bars. Opened by Carey Hanlon and Caitlin Waugh, the bar was built around a simple idea: great drinks shouldn't be rushed, and neither should the experience of enjoying them.
PEACH
For this month's Negroni, Carey and Caitlin have shared one of Slowpour's own creations - a bright, fruit-forward take on the classic.
Their Peach Negroni combines the bittersweet character you'd expect from a traditional Negroni with delicate stone fruit notes that soften the drink without losing its unmistakable backbone. It's elegant, balanced and effortlessly drinkable, perfectly reflecting Slowpour's approach to modern cocktails: familiar flavours, carefully refined and never overcomplicated.
SLOWPOUR
Although Slowpour only opened its doors in 2025, it has already become one of the country's standout cocktail destinations, earning a place in the UK's Top 50 Cocktail Bars and receiving recognition from The Pinnacle Guide within months of opening.
The menu is built around flavour rather than spirit, allowing guests to choose drinks based on what they're in the mood for, with every cocktail also available as a carefully developed non-alcoholic alternative. Behind the bar, almost everything is made in-house, from syrups and infusions to tinctures and garnishes, reflecting the same attention to detail that defines the venue itself.
THE DRINK
This month's cocktail is Slowpour's elegant take on the classic Negroni, bringing together bittersweet flavours with delicate peach notes.
The juicy fruit softens the drink without overpowering it, adding a subtle sweetness that perfectly complements the bitter aperitivo and rich vermouth. It's a beautifully balanced twist on a timeless classic, proving that just a small change can create something entirely new.
Perfect for golden evenings, long lunches and whenever you're in the mood for a Negroni with a little extra sunshine.
