Drink review – I enjoyed drinking Funkin’s alcohol-free Passion Fruit Martini but truth be told it tasted more like a breakfast juice than an evening mocktail. Expect lots of smooth velvety passionfruit flavour but there wasn’t much of an ‘edge’ to it.
I came across this colourful can of alcohol-free passion fruit martini whilst browsing the aisle of Tesco.
As you can see it is created by Funkin, a UK business that has been creating cocktails for over 25 years. Initially, they worked with bartenders to create purees and mixers and over time have created a large range of interesting pre-mixed cocktails, including one non-alcoholic cocktail – the Passionfruit Martini I tried today.
I’ve actually reviewed two other non-alcoholic passionfruit martini’s in the past, including Caleno’s offering, and they’ve been pretty decent so had high expectations for Funkin’s offering.
Unlike other mocktails, Funkin has infused its drinks with nitrogen to help create a smooth, just-mixed texture.
So the question is, will I be Funkin happy with this non-alcoholic cocktail or is it destined for the sink? Well, you’ll just need to read my review below to find out.
Is this Alcohol-free Passion Fruit Martini any good?
Taste
I enjoyed drinking this AF passionfruit martini but truth be told it tasted more like a breakfast juice than an evening mocktail. Expect lots of smooth velvety passionfruit flavour but there wasn’t much of an ‘edge’ to it. If anything it might be best used as a mixer itself ie adding some non-alcoholic gin to it.
Aroma & Appearance
You can expect some big bold citrus and passionfruit aromas when you open the can (which itself has a satisfying hiss to it). In the glass it certainly looks like a thick passionfruit martini.
Buy Alcohol-free Funkin Mocktails
At the time of writing the distribution of this mocktail is very strong in the UK and you can find this in Tesco’s, Morrisons, Ocado or Asda.
