Funkin Cocktail Mixers Review

We love cocktails at Frost and upon receiving these cocktail mixers, or mocktails if you want to go sans alcohol, we were very happy. Especially as you don’t usually have all of the ingredients in your kitchen when you are in the mood for one. Well, problem solved: you just need one of these.

cocktail mixers funkin reviewAll Funkin cocktail mixers are 100% natural and contain only sun ripened fruit, so all the goodness and natural flavour is retained, meaning you can enjoy a wonderfully delicious mocktail by just adding sparkling water and ice!  They are fruity and fresh.

Choose to bring a taste of vibrant Rio to the cold streets of Blighty with the Funkin Brazilian, a tropical blend of mangoes, passion fruit and oranges with Amazonian Guarana, the ‘super seed’, which contains twice the energy of coffee beans, giving you a delicious natural energy kick: this tastes amazing and really gives you a kick. Great for energy and fun. Excellent taste.

Alternatively, opt for the nation’s most popular fruit to bring the taste of summer flooding back and try Funkin Strawberry Daiquiri. a flavour recently voted one of the UK’s favourite cocktails*.  (brilliant and tastes great. Not artificial) And complete your marvellous mocktail collection with the Funkin Mojito, made with the highest quality Persian limes blended with the freshest limes for a sharp, refreshing taste.(tastes like a proper Mojito, we added some rum and the taste was amazing)

The Funkin team travels all over the world sourcing the very best ingredients to ensure you enjoy the best tasting drinks. Each Funkin cocktail mixer has been created in consultation with some of the world’s best bartenders, with no artificial colours, flavours, preservatives or additives.

These mixers are great, they don’t taste artificial and they are fresh and fruity. We were surprised at just how great they tasted. Very impressive for something that comes out of a carton.

The full Funkin range is available nationwide at Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Co-op, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Majestic Wine, Harrods, Ocado, Amazon, DrinkShop.com
