Funkin

Funkin made its name in the trade. Walk into any decent cocktail bar and you'll likely spot their distinctive bottles behind the counter. Their Passion Fruit puree became particularly famous, playing a starring role in Douglas Ankrah's Pornstar Martini, a drink that went on to become Britain's most ordered cocktail.

The range has grown well beyond those original purees. Funkin now offers syrups, cocktail mixers, and ready-to-drink cans. For the alcohol-free crowd, their mixers are the main attraction. The Passion Fruit Martini Mixer and Strawberry Daiquiri Mixer come ready to pour, no spirits required. Add sparkling water or lemonade and you've got a proper mocktail in seconds. The mixers use real fruit, skip the artificial colours and preservatives, and taste like something a bartender would serve you.

The company became the first British cocktail brand to earn B Corp certification, reflecting a genuine commitment to sustainability rather than just marketing speak. They've also partnered with The Drinks Trust to support hospitality workers.

Funkin sits in an interesting spot for alcohol-free drinkers. They're not an AF-dedicated brand, as they still make boozy RTD cans with spirits. But their mixers have always been non-alcoholic by design, and they've leaned into the mocktail market as demand has grown. You'll find their products in most major supermarkets including Tesco, Sainsbury's, and Waitrose, as well as through their own website. Their 25 years spent supplying professional bartenders means the recipes are well-tested by the time they reach the supermarket shelf.
