You can now get your favourite cocktail in candle form

Perfect for an at-home dinner date. - by Laura Barry

Alcohol-free Dry July is just around the corner, and food delivery service Menulog has launched a limited-edition range of alcohol-scented candles to see you through the month.

In fact, recent studies have found that all you need to do to overcome cravings is to enjoy the smell for two minutes or more, and you’ll no longer want the food or drink you’re lusting after. So, these candles may well be a wise investment to ensure you make it through the month hangover free.

The scent-sational candles are available in five different flavours; mulled wine, champagne cocktail, scotch whiskey, espresso martini and pink apple cider – so there’s a scent to suit every taste and occasion.

Menulog has paired each of the candles with the perfect meal, which can be ordered via the app, and customers who order one of those meals can get the paired candle for free!
