There is nothing quite like working in your home city. The relationship with the Arena is incredibly strong and even though we\u2019re not here every day, you feel part of the team when you come in to deliver an event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMajor shows like Take That are fantastic for the business and for the city. It\u2019s a great opportunity to showcase what we do to a big audience. We\u2019re proud to be launching a new drink for the shows and to continue our long-term relationship with the Arena.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018Ringmaster\u2019s Punch\u2019 cocktail has been created to reflect the theme of the Take That tour and will sit alongside the venue\u2019s existing cocktail range, including Passion Fruit Martini, Mojito and Long Island Iced Tea.<\/p>\n<p>Poison Cocktails will provide a team of up to 10 staff per show, operating dedicated cocktail stands and supporting service points across the venue during the concerts.<\/p>\n<p>Lee McCabe at Coventry Building Society Arena said: \u201cKarl and the team at Poison Cocktails provide an outstanding service from start to finish. Their approach is professional yet genuinely friendly, making every interaction feel easy and enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the attention to detail to the way they look after their clients, it\u2019s clear they take real pride in what they do. They deliver a seamless experience with great energy and reliability. We are proud to be supporting and working with local businesses on what is set to be three incredible nights at Coventry Building Society
