Mothers Day Sharpham Sips and Savouries Hamper

…with the Sharpham Sips & Savouries Hamper: Your Perfect Pairing for March 24th

National Cocktail Day, celebrated every year on March 24th, is a vibrant occasion dedicated to appreciating the craft, creativity, and culture of cocktails. In 2026, the celebration falls on a Tuesday — an ideal excuse to shake up something delicious and enjoy the artistry of mixology at home.

This spirited day invites cocktail lovers to explore new flavours, experiment with ingredients, and raise a glass to the rich history of mixed drinks. From classic Margaritas to colourful contemporary creations, National Cocktail Day puts craftsmanship and enjoyment centre stage.

But what’s a day of great cocktails without equally great food to go with them?

Introducing the Sharpham Sips & Savouries Hamper- The Ultimate Cocktail-Day Companion

For a celebration built around flavour, finesse, and indulgence, the Sharpham Sips & Savouries Hamper hits every note. This beautifully curated selection combines artisanal cheeses, handcrafted cocktails, gourmet accompaniments, and luxurious sweet treats — all designed to elevate your National Cocktail Day experience.

The hamper includes:

  • Sharpham Brie Heart (300g) – Our flagship creamy brie- in a hand-cut heart.
  • Mini Elmhirst (190g) – Triple-cream indulgence, rich and decadent texture.
  • Mini Rustic Cheese (280g) – Semi-hard, creamy, lactic and slightly crumbly.
  • Pinot Noir Fig Chutney (240g) – Lush, fruity, and perfect with soft cheeses.

  • Salcombe Milk Chocolate Bar with Caramel & Sea Salt (80g) – Sweet, silky, and indulgent.

One of the standout elements of the Sharpham Sips & Savouries Hamper is its inclusion of handcrafted cocktails from Bar Buoy, a Devon-based small‑batch producer known for its coastal-inspired, precision-crafted serves.
