Funkin Cocktails doubles down on quality with new Double Shot range

Cocktail brand Funkin Cocktails, the first cocktail company to become B CORP certified, is tapping into demand for higher ABV ready to drink serves, with the launch of its new Double Shot range, as it continues to shake up the cocktail category.

Two popular serves are kicking off the latest innovation – Funkin Passion Fruit Margarita, a twist on the UK’s number one Passion Fruit Martini, and Funkin Pineapple Daiquiri tapping into the nation’s favourite flavours.


Both with a double spirit measure (14 per cent ABV) and packaged in 140ml cans, Funkin Double Shot has been designed to bring the bar experience on-the-go. Made with real fruit and real spirit, Funkin Cocktails fans can look forward to only the fantastic flavour and quality.

Cocktail consumption is at an all-time high, with many consumers preferring to treat themselves to a premium drink at home. And with half of drinkers willing to pay extra for a quality drink, experiencing bar-quality serves from the comfort of their own living room is top of the agenda.

“This latest addition to our cocktail collection has been developed to bring the twists on premium cocktails shoppers know and love, whenever and wherever they are. We’ve long been advocates for having delicious cocktail serves wherever you are, and our Double Shot range is no exception to this,” explains Ben Anderson, Funkin Cocktails Marketing Director.

“Our innovation is always insights driven to make sure we’re anticipating shoppers’ desires – and shoppers certainly have their eyes on premium cocktails right now.

Funkin Cocktails’ existing range of Nitro Cans features the nation’s favourite cocktails, including Passion Fruit Martini, sales of which topped 3 million cans in 2022.

Kahlúa goes undercover for St. Patrick’s Day

Cocktail lovers can rejoice this St. Patrick’s Day with the release of Kahlúa’s “Schneaky” Espresso Martini glass. Disguised to look like a pint of stout, the specially designed, hand-blown glass sneakily conceals an Espresso Martini inside a pint glass. The crafty solution was created following research revealing that cocktail lovers feel “St. Patrick’s Day pressure” to drink stout – even if they don’t savour its flavour.

According to the study, around two in three drinkers (64 per cent) have felt the need to order a "certain stout drink" to fit in and nearly half (42 per cent) fear they might be judged poorly for choosing a cocktail over a pint on St. Patrick’s Day. Enter the Schneaky Espresso Martini glass by Kahlúa – a saviour for many cocktail lovers on 16 and 17 March.
