The four variants are great for hosting, gifting, or a simple and easy way to enjoy the highest quality expert-made cocktails at home.
Mark de Witte, CEO of De Kuyper Royal Distillers, said: “We are delighted to work with William Grant & Sons to bring our premium ready-to-serve cocktails to the UK. On a mission to democratise cocktails and offer everybody the chance to enjoy their favourite cocktail any time, the new launch is part of our halo vision to ‘Own the Cocktail’”.
Many consumers know and appreciate an Espresso Martini cocktail out in a bar or a Pina Colada on holiday and usually know how to mix them, but many cocktail lovers don’t have the time or the equipment to prepare cocktails at home. De Kuyper ready-to-serve cocktails offer the perfect solution, as they save time and are easy to prepare.
Every cocktail can be served and enjoyed in two ways: Shaking the cocktails first to create the perfect flavour and bar-like experience or simply pouring the chilled drink into a glass and enjoying the taste of the world’s most famous cocktails.
De Kuyper Piña Colada Cocktail is the beloved tropical cocktail blended with De Kuyper Coconut Liqueur, De Kuyper Pineapple Liqueur and rum. Your ultimate holiday cocktail in a bottle is also vegan. Perfect serve: Fill a large glass with crushed ice and pour from the chilled bottle for the most delicious cocktail. Garnish with a pineapple slice, and enjoy!
De Kuyper Strawberry Daiquiri Cocktail is a fruity rum cocktail packed with sunshine. A blend of De Kuyper Wild Strawberry Liqueur, lime juice, and a pleasant rum punch. Perfect serve: Shake with ice and strain in a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a lime wheel or a strawberry. Or simply chill, pour, and enjoy!
De Kuyper Passionfruit Martini Cocktail is a tempting and sweet cocktail with tropical De Kuyper Passionfruit Liqueur, vodka, smooth vanilla syrup, and a zing of lime. Perfect serve: Shake with ice for a luscious foam layer, and strain in a chilled martini glass. Garnish with half a passionfruit. Or simply chill, pour, and enjoy!
