Ice Republic Cocktails

Think of cocktails and you think of swaying palms, warm sunshine, the gentle lilt of tropical drums and the cack-handed barman down the Dog and Hammer messing up your Margarita. Or is that just us? Whatever. The point is cocktails are fabulous, but making decent ones can be rather tricky. Not any more because Ice Republic Cocktails are here to save the day.

These handy portable pouches contain award-winning pre-mixes of popular cocktails. No fancy shakers, measuring cups, ice crushing or recipe books required. All you need is a freezer and a Hawaiian shirt.

Simply add water, give the pouch a shake (adopting a suitably silly ‘Strictly’ stance), pour in the relevant booze (White Rum or Tequila), shake again (this time adopting an even sillier stance), then freeze until slushy. If you can’t wait, just pour your perfectly mixed cocktail over ice. Mmm…fruity! You won’t even have to measure out the water and alcohol because the pouches feature marker lines.

Ideal for parties, dinner soirees and picnics (just pop ‘em in a cool bag), each convenient pouch makes up to 1.6 litres of exotic loveliness. Pour into an appropriately swanky serving vessel, chuck in some mini parasols and guests will be none the wiser. ‘Cor, hollow pineapple!’ It’s just like being in an episode of Sex and the City minus the shoes and potty talk.

Made from real fruit and fruit juices, Ice Republic Cocktails are available in three delicious flavours: Pina Colada, Lime Margarita and Strawberry Daiquiri. Now if that doesn’t get you dancing the cha-cha-cha in parched anticipation, we don’t know what will. All together now, ‘If you like Pina Colada…’
