• Chinotto •
Kind of as you know it, but kind of not as you know it…
We’ve always been proud of our alcohol free serves at SiC. So often they can be a secondary thought - but we care a lot about being able to provide points of difference with our alcohol free drinks here.
Take our Chinotto for example, a staple serve for us for a few years now. We save our citrus husks when we juice so we can build the base of this drink. The predominant citrus used is orange, to keep it true to its unique flavour… When we have our leftover husks, we blacken them in an oven with other citrus husks, cassia, juniper, pink peppercorn and bay leaf.
Once the citrus husks have caramelised in the oven, we remove, cool down and then rest - completely submerged, in a 1:1 sugar syrup for 1 month (4 weeks) for the citrus to break down and infuse into the liquid it’s submerged in.
The result is a bitter, citrus led and slightly botanical sweetener that we rebalance with some citric acid, then lengthen, add Amaro Lucano Zero for another bittersweet push and then force carbonate in house.
Often, alcohol free drinks can be trickier to structure in the absence of ethanol. Not in this case… Our Chinotto is incredible in body, taste and texture.

Introducing - Josh, AKA ‘That’ spicy marg 2026 guy
Josh came in as uncle Josh, and quickly became the party boy of the group.
Coming in hot from a BBQ background in Chester, with his checkered shirts and notepad in hand - we knew there was potential there after hearing his approach to his work. Moving to the big city is always a fun transition - and boy, watching this guy grow in such a short space of time has been nothing short of amazing.
From uncle to rizz in a few months. Josh has game, and and skill in abundance. Competing in this years Patron Spicy marg UK finals this month with his red pepper 5 ways Marg. It absolutely flew out during the month of march.
Cocktail aside, Josh loves to get about the city and socialise. Often hosting new team members around the list of Manchesters cocktail venues to show what the city is about - but give him a beer and a bag of ready salted crisps and this guy is happy. He might even start speaking Spanish after a couple and take random siestas (Defo not before a date though, defo never done that).
All in all, we love Josh, he’s had a meteoric rise to a senior position in a short space of time with his commitment, dedication and hard work. This dude is the definition of positivity and grandad dancing.
Say hey next time you’re in, and wish him luck in his cocktail comp in a few days.
We salute you, Josh… Welcome to the team…

• Double Down •
Aight, before we get back to talking about us again…
One more shout for our new bar next door, @doubledownbar - give it a follow for us and next time you’re in these parts, head to both SiC and DD for a full cocktail experience in both bars.
You literally can’t miss our new entrance. Right next door to SiC, you’ll see our big arched gates, and our rather bold and easy to spot DBL DWN sign.
Vibes on point, low lit basement bar with weekend DJs. Drinks ethos carries through from SiC to DD with more scalability and big focus on in house ice production & distillation.
Catch you there…

So we take our time to develop our menus, and in between that process we host several bars, bartenders and events from around the world to showcase new drink styles in the room, and bring a level of drink and hospitality education through Manchester.
Last week we had the pleasure of hosting @raff_suntorytimes to showcase some simple and classic @suntorywhisky serves.
We have plenty of events lined up for the year, to showcase other bars drinks in our space for something new to try…
