Consider this your cheat sheet to what we’ll all be sipping (and booking) next.
Coastal Calm & Slow Escapes
UK coastlines, off-season seaside breaks, walks, swims, great food, sleep. Choosing quiet luxury over busy itineraries.
Meeting the demand – Coastal regions & hotels, wellness brands, slow travel operators, luxury motorhome rentals.
We’d pair this with a Polish Paloma, salty and fresh!
- 60ml Lemon Soplica Vodka
- 60ml Grapefruit Juice
- 15ml Lime Juice
- 7.5ml Agave Syrup
- Garnish – red grapefruit
Run a wedge of lime around the rim of your highball, then dip one side in salt to coat. Add ice, then add in your Soplica, lime juice & agave Syrup. Stir and top with tonic, garnish with red grapefruit
Elevated Staycations
Boutique hotels, design-led B&Bs, private villas, lodges with hot tubs, fewer trips, but better ones.
Meeting the demand – Independent hotels, luxury UK stays, personal chefs, restaurants with private dining, villa and retreat operators.
We’d pair this with a Dirty Martini, dry & sophisticated

Stir ingredients with ice until icy cold. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with 1–2 green olives
Group Travel & Friends Getaways

Meeting the demand – Festivals, villa and large home rentals, city destinations, experience providers.
We’d pair this with an Apricot Spritz, light, sweet & fun
- 40ml Soplica Apricot Vodka
- 60ml dry prosecco
