Difford's Shop

Difford's Shop Everything you need to make great cocktails. Ingredients, tools, spirits & wine curated by the experts behind Difford's Guide.

We're online and also have a shop in Northiam, East Sussex. Drop by for some cocktail inspiration, beer or wine! Difford's Shop is located in the village of Northiam, East Sussex, and online nationwide. It's a unique family-run off-licence with...

- a wine selection offering a delicious choice of wines, a little more special than the supermarket-style wines from large producers. We always have bo

ttles open so you can try before you buy,
- a beer range led by local breweries, with some Belgian and speciality and non-alcoholic beers as well,
- fresh ale drawn straight from the cask or keg and sold in 1-litre (1¾ pints) and 2-litre (3½ pints) containers to enjoy at home,
- one of the country’s largest ranges of quality cocktail ingredients, bar tools and elegant glassware. If you're local to us, we’d love to see you soon. Please drop by for a warm welcome, cocktail inspiration or some beer or wine to enjoy your evening with! If you can't visit in-person, we've still got you covered 🙌 We ship anywhere in mainland UK. If you're not in the UK and have your eye on an item of bar equipment or a book then please drop us a line and we will happily look into international shipping options for you. Sorry, we can't ship liquids overseas. Cheers, and happy browsing!

With the weekend nearly upon us, there's plenty worth dropping in for...
- a growing line-up of local beers and ciders, including Three Legs on cask. Just bring your own container or we can supply one
- new wines in, plus an END OF SUMMER WINE SALE on selected whites and rosés
- all the ingredients for thousands of cocktails on Difford's Guide

One of those is a current favourite of ours...the Sherry Caipirinha. Lighter in alcohol than the cachaça classic and a delicious sipper while it's still warm out. The bottle's on the shelf and online if you fancy trying it.

If you're local to us, drop in for a browse, and if there's any cocktail inspiration you need we're always happy to chat and advise.

Not been to us before? We're just off the A28 Hastings Road as you come out of Northiam towards Horns Cross. Look out for the sign!

If, like us, tequila makes you happy, pop down to the shop today for a taster. We have bottles open of a blanco, reposado and anejo...all 100% agave of course and fantastic examples of delicious tequila. Yesterday might have been National Tequila Day, but hey ho, we'll figure out another reason to enjoy it today!

We opened a year ago with a simple idea: one place for everything you need to drink well at home. People are still (happily!) surprised to find us in Northiam, and for those further afield, we have an online shop and ship across Mainland UK too.

Thank you to everyone who has visited us in person, ordered online, or simply followed along. Your support really means a lot to our small, independent business!

For those who don't know us yet, Difford's Shop is brought to you by the same team behind Difford's Guide, the world's leading cocktail website. We've put that same passion and knowledge into building a fantastic selection of cocktail ingredients, wines, beers and cocktail equipment under one roof. We've selected every item ourselves, because we like it, and have an impressive range of products which is ever growing as we find new tasty wines, spirits, liqueurs that we want to share.

Whether you're looking to make a specific cocktail from our 7,000+ recipes on Difford's Guide, discover a new wine, pick up fresh local ale on tap, or find the right piece of barware (Easy Jigger anyone?!), we have you covered. And if you need help - a cocktail recommendation, a gift idea, or just someone to talk drinks with - drop us an email or come in and find us. We'd be happy to help.

In store in Northiam or online at www.diffords.shop, shipping across Mainland UK.
Hope to see you soon!

The Rumpari is our cocktail of choice for chilling in the sun this evening. Overproof rum, Strucchi Bitter and Three Cents pink grapefruit soda. It's bittersweet, funky and perfect to kick off the weekend. Simon made it for Dan to photograph the other day...doesn't it look refreshing?!

It's National Rosé Day on Saturday 13 June, and we think that calls for a glass or two 🥂

We've a varied rosé selection - from crisp English fizz to Provençal classics, pale and dry to fuller and fruitier, with bottles starting from under £10. Whatever your style or budget there's something here worth trying.

To celebrate this special day, we're offering 10% off every bottle of rosé in-store (Sat 13 June). And we'll have a couple open to taste, of course!

Come and visit your local Northiam wine shop (and cocktails, and beer!). We're open 11am to 6.30pm on Friday and Saturday 🙌

FRESH ale on tap from our pals at Three Legs Brewing. It's like they are still just down the road! Bring your own container or ask us for one. £6 for 1 litre / £12 for 2 litres. We're tasting for quality control purposes...not quite a pint, more like a Sussex half 🍺

We're open until 6.30pm Friday and Saturday.

Meet the Bittersweet Hello. It’s Simon's latest creation and, we think, a very good reason to come to our next Spirited Evening🍸

Strucchi Bitter for the bitter, Luxardo Aperitivo and Strucchi Rosso Vermouth for the sweet, topped with Fiol Extra Dry Prosecco. And the "hello"? That's because there's no better way to welcome someone through the door!

All the ingredients are in Difford's Shop if you want to have a go at home. Though if you'd rather Simon made it for you, we still have a few spaces left for our next Spirited Evening on Saturday 6th June!
