“By serving up a variety ranging from the traditional Classic Americano and Latte to our flavoursome Wall of Fame Macchiato, a milky coffee served with caramel, a double shot of our espresso and topped with fresh whipped cream, there’s certainly something for everybody to enjoy.”

The UK’s first and Liverpool’s only dry bar, The Brink, is serving up a selection of barista beverages alongside a huge range of mocktails, smoothies and fresh presses.

General Manager of The Brink Carl Bell said: “We find that our barista beverage offering is ever popular with all of our guests, whether they are members of the recovery community or of the general public.

“For those who prefer their coffee without a kick, our range of coffee is also available in a decaffeinated form, which is chemical free in line with our ethos for eating well and organically.”
