Alcohol miniatures - where to buy?

Where do you buy your mini alcohol bottles from please?

Every year I struggle with this one and am sure I end up overpaying, I've used Justminiatures before (not too bad but their P&P is expensive) and also bought gift sets and split them, but you don't always get what you want that way.

Thank you

I've never heard of Booths, I wonder if that's local to where you are. Will see if I can find a Spar. Thank you

Thank you, see I think £3 is a lot for a miniature.

It was for bottles like Hendricks Gin or Sipsmith which are more expensive to start with I suppose.

Ah, yes they are a North West company. Drinks Direct has popped up but I suppose how many you need for the postage costs.

I agree, they are really difficult to find now and also quite expensive for the size. I like to pick some up for stocking fillers, Asda used to do a really good range but that stopped about 3 or 4 years ago, at least locally to me, (Birmingham). We have a couple of local off-licences that still do them, so maybe you could check if you have a local offy? (As we used to call it when I was a teenager, many moons ago!)

I find it really frustrating as well, I need small quantities for some of the recipes I make, we don't drink per se for medical reasons, but I hate having to buy such large bottles. We used to stock up on miniatures when we went on holiday's to Tenerife.
