In the Glass

Hazy alabaster with a creamy, white foam layer on top.

The aromatics are wonderfully intense offering scents of ripe pineapple with lime supported by notes of White Rum and hints of cotton candy.

The palate echoes the nose delivering intense flavors of pineapple juice with mellow White Rum, wrapped in coconut cream.

Medium-bodied with an ultra creamy texture that's just a touch too sweet for us but it's hard not to love.

Cool Factor

Ready to drink cocktails are taking our beverage retailers by storm. Some of them miss the mark and then some, like Funkin, are absolutely spot-on — very cool.

Value Grade

The FUNKIN cocktails are sold in four packs with each 200 ml can (just over 7 ounces) costing roughly $3.50. Try getting a tasty Pina Colada for three and a half bucks anywhere.

Analysis

We at BevX have been looking at a lot of ready to drink cocktails as the category is red hot and getting hotter. Recently, one of these cocktail brands caught our attention — FUNKIN cocktails. FUNKIN cleverly infuses their cocktails with nitro, much like the we have seen with a handful of premium beer most notably Guinness. The nitro infusion gives incredible texture to the canned cocktail giving it the feel of a fresh, hand-shaken cocktail. Their Pina Colada was our favorite of the group as it ideally marries real pineapple and coconut with Rum to create authentic tropical flavors.

How to Enjoy

Pour directly into a cocktail glass or any glass to allow the nitro to bloom the cocktail and deliver the full potential. Add a squeeze of lime if you want more tartness.
