Mixtons releases new RTD canned cocktails

UK cocktail brand, Mixtons, is releasing a range of four new ‘classic cocktails with a twist.’

After realising canned cocktails only had six flavours available, founders Xav, Ranj and Sim started to come up with new and inspired recipes during lockdown as they socialised on Zoom. Friends loved them and within their first 12 months, they’d sold 200,000 cocktails, all created and delivered by hand, by themselves from Sim’s kitchen to now having two upcoming major retail listings, being stocked at the O2 and being exclusive cocktail partner to over 30+ festivals across the summer and London’s Winter Wonderland.

The new flavours include: Guilty Passion – a succulent tropical twist on a Passion Fruit Martini featuring vodka, passionfruit, mango and lychee; Dragon Mojo – an exotic fruit twist on a classic Mojito with rum, mint, kiwi and dragonfruit; Spicy Melons – this product was originally a mistake; Ranj accidentally mixed two recipes together, but friends reportedly loved it – featuring wequila, lime, watermelon and chilli; and Forbidden Zest – the Mixtons take on a classic Aperitif featuring gin, blood orange, pink grapefruit and yuzu.

Co-founder, Xav Craine, commented: “We wanted to capture that feeling that you have when you see an incredible drink on a cocktail list with ingredients you’ve never tried before. Now you can have that in a can – unique and innovative flavour combinations, without any of the hassle of making it yourself. We’re bringing back the joy of cocktail discovery. The story of canned cocktails just got a plot twist!”

All Mixtons cocktails are 8% ABV, Gluten-free and in fully recyclable cans. Available from www.mixtons.com. Priced from £22.50 for 6.
