FUNKIN LAUNCHES ‘COCKTAIL-READY’ MIXERS
UK Beverage Services were involved in the Funkin Project team to support the Technical & Due Diligence Aspects of this Exciting Project
Packaged in silver cocktail shakers, the trio includes Skinny Mojito, Passion Fruit Martini and Strawberry Daiquiri. The skinny version of the Mojito contains less than 100 calories per cocktail, inclusive of the spirit.
According to Funkin, the cocktail shakers allow consumers to make perfectly balanced, chilled cocktails at home, with each shaker making four cocktails. Shoppers simply need to add spirit and ice, shake and serve.The three-piece shaker has a measuring cap and measure line to allow for the precise amount of spirit and a strainer to filter the cocktail from the ice.
Funkin managing director, Andrew King, said: “Funkin is once again leading the way in cocktail innovation. With our new shaker range designed specifically for the off-trade we are making it easy for consumers to prepare bar-quality cocktails at home, eliminating the guesswork.
