Two New Flavors from Funkin Ü ber-stylish, all-natural cocktail company Funkin has launched two new fl avors to the popular “10 Second Cocktail” range: Strawberry Daiquiri and Margarita. Both Latin creations, the Margarita originating in Mexico and the Daiquiri in Cuba, “continue to be some of the most popular with movers and shakers everywhere,” says Funkin founder Alex Carlton. The Funkin team has come up with a fresh new-look packaging for all the fl avors in the “10 Second” range, including the Mojito, the Bramble, the Appletini and the Cosmopolitan. “Funkin is favored by top mixologists and bartenders alike, and has become the profession- als’ mixer of choice because it allows them to create impressive cocktails quickly without comprising on quality, taste or the provenance of ingredients,” Carlton points out.
