Rocktails

Founders, Helen McAvoy and Naomi Kibble always enjoyed night spent in town drinking cocktails but when trying to recreate them at home, found them frustrating and amateur. As a result, Rocktails came to life offering a premium range of frozen cocktails in three fruity flavours; FrostBerry, Artic Passion and CoolCumber. All blended from a unique fusion of refreshing fruits and vodka with no artificial colours or flavourings, they look and taste fabulous, with the frost effect rivaling some of the top bar-mixologist creations. Keep frozen until 20 minutes before desired consumption and then either squeeze into a glass or drink straight from the single serve pouch.
