All products on this page have been selected by our editorial team, however we may make commission on some products.
Too Easy Beverages
Pre-bottled cocktails can often be sickly sweet and full of ingredients you’d never find behind a bar. Too Easy Beverages is a new brand making everything with no excess sugar or additives. It launched with a margarita, which is bottled in Devon and made with tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice and organic blue agave syrup. One of the best-tasting bottled margaritas we’ve tried, it’s the perfect bottle to take to dinner parties or for an evening with the girls. A spicy rum mix is coming soon.

Hox Crush
Hotel brand The Hoxton has teamed up with wine company Fat Crush to create their own label of ethically sourced white wine. Hox Crush is an entry-level white made from unoaked chardonnay and viognier grapes from France’s Languedoc region – look for notes of peach, pears and white flowers, and a smooth, easy-drinking texture that suits salty snacks and cheese or charcuterie boards. It’s available to buy in the Hox Shops at any London Hoxton hotel, directly from Fat Crush or on Delli.

Temps Tastes Co.
Made in Chelsea fans will recognise this brand, created by reality TV personality David ‘Temps’ Temptation. After becoming obsessed with chicken salt while filming the series last year in Australia, David created his own packet mix, made from salt, chicken powder and a mix of other spices like garlic, onion and celery granules. A versatile spice to have in the kitchen, you can use the rub on raw food – from chicken and seafood to veg – or sprinkle it over dishes. The brand has also launched an ‘Everything But the Bagel’ seasoning, made with lemon zest and ready to be added to brunch dishes, salads, pizzas, roasted veg and more

Fortnum & Mason Subscriptions
Fortnum & Mason has launched a monthly subscription service. There are three option to choose from, all of which are delivered to your door each month, making teatime that bit more special. ‘The Tea Post’ includes monthly deliveries of Fortnum & Mason’s Royal Blend or Earl Grey tea, while the ‘Biscuit Post Subscription’ includes a tin of the brand’s biscuits – like its seriously moreish Chocolossus flavour. Then there’s the ‘Teatime Dispatch Subscription’ which includes a selection of teas, biscuits, and preserves. Plus, if you're heading to the store this summer, look out for its new ice-cream Parlour where you'll find the new limited-edition ‘Eau de Nil’ ice-cream, inspired by Blackpool's famous rock confectionary.

Atis Regent Street Store
For healthy, balanced salads that keep you full for hours, you need Atis. It recently opened a store on Regent Street, where customers can build their own boxes or choose one from the menu: the ‘Azteca’ is made with chopped romaine, baby spinach, pickled red onions, charred corn, black eyed beans, crumbled feta, avocado and tortilla shards; or there’s a bavette plate with greens, sweet potato and chimichurri dressing. In summer, you can also tuck into ice-cream sandos from Happy Endings, available at all sites.

Black Lines Hugo Spritz
You might’ve seen Black Lines at various festivals this summer, but if you’re new to the brand, you should know it makes some of the best batch-made cocktails out there. Inspired by long Italian summer nights, the new Hugo Spritz (pronounced ‘ugo’) is made with Sapling gin, sparkling wine, elderflower, mint, lemon and soda. Refreshing and easy on the palate, it’s available to buy at the link below, or you can try it at the brand’s bar in the RIXO flagship store on the King’s Road.

Vincenzo's Pizza X Kick Foods
Bushey’s Vincenzo’s Pizza has teamed up with Kick Foods to create ‘Vincenzo's Pizzaiolo's Peperoncino’, a traditional and punchy Italian chilli oil perfect for pizza, pasta, and other dishes. The team suspend ruby red chillis from Salerno in a blend of olive oil, sunflower oil and extra virgin olive oil, resulting in an intense umami heat. It’s designed to be drizzled over anything, but we like it over gyozas or warm, freshly baked bread.

Whitebox Cocktails
Award-winning Whitebox Cocktails, known for its punchy single-serve cocktails, has launched three new drinks: the Spicy Margarita, Daiquiri, and Vieux Carré. We like the Daiquiri, made with three simple ingredients: rum, lime and sugar. Served over ice, each tin is a cost-effective way to enjoy your favourite drinks at home.

Black + Blum
Finding food containers that are functional, look good and long-lasting isn’t easy, so we were pleased to discover British brand Black + Blum. Each item is made in the team’s south London studio, and it’s built to last – so you won’t need to replace items after a few months. Of the new range we rate the stainless-steel meal-prep bowl sets – which are 100% leak proof, and dishwasher and oven-safe – and the thermo pot which keeps food hot for up to six hours.
