Funkin Cocktails has collaborated with Ardagh Group for the first-ever range of ready-to-drink canned cocktails in Nitro Can. The 200ml slim aluminium can features a fixed nitrogen-infused widget that mixes the cocktail instantly, producing an unrivalled multisensory experience for the consumer.
The rang comes in four flavours – Espresso Martini, Passion fruit Martini, Amaretto Sour, and the on-trend Pink Gin Fizz. Funkin’s range contains real fruit and the can guarantees shelf stability both in refrigerated and ambient temperatures.
The slim aluminium cans feature Funkin’s brand new livery, a silver theme with bold graphics depicting the flavour varietals. The four new flavours are now available in the UK market.
Adriana Escobar, Product Manager at Ardagh Group’s European Metal Beverage division, said, ‘It’s exciting to be tapping into new categories with our Nitro Can. This exceptional innovative packaging format deserves a wide take-up and we love to see new categories take advantage of all its benefits.’
The Nitro Can technology was devised by Ardagh in 2016 to capitalise on the trend for nitro coffee, and with Funkin’s new range it now enters the fast-growing RTD alcoholic beverage market, Ardagh said.
Ben Anderson, Marketing Director at Funkin Cocktails, said, “This has been a great collaboration in our 20th anniversary year – we couldn’t be happier with the final product. Our core values are ingredients, innovation and inspiration, and Ardagh’s Nitro Can solution supports all three. We are really happy to deliver our exciting flavours in a system that keeps the product safe and tasting perfect.’
