Funkin launches cocktail mixer pack in World Duty Free

The new Funkin Bacardi Mojito five-pack debuts at World Duty Free, positioned alongside the spirits offering


UK. Funkin, the UK’s number one fruit purée brand, is to launch its cocktail mixers into World Duty Free at London Gatwick and Manchester airports this month.

The new Funkin Bacardi Mojito five-pack is the first offering from the brand in travel retail.

Funkin CEO Andrew King said: “The launch of Funkin into the travel retail market is part of our business expansion and will provide a unique offering to travellers. Spirits are an important category in travel retail and by positioning Funkin alongside them, we offer a broader drinking solution for customers.”

UK-based Funkin exports its products to many domestic markets across Europe and recently opened its first satellite office in the US.

Established 10 years ago, Funkin made its debut in the professional bar industry with its 100% natural fruit purées and, in early 2009, launched its cocktail mixer range to allow consumers to enjoy cocktails at home.

Dubbed the 10-second cocktail, the mixers only require the addition of ice and a spirit. Bacardi is the recommended rum to be served with the Funkin Mojito.
