When it comes to hosting the perfect party or gathering, the drinks menu can make all the difference—but that doesn’t mean you have to play bartender all night. Supermarket shelves are bursting with fantastic options that are both delicious and convenient, so whether you’re throwing a summer garden party, hosting friends for a Friday night get-together, or just celebrating the weekend, we’ve got your drinks list covered.
Why Pre-Mixed is Perfect for Parties
Gone are the days when “ready-made” meant compromising on taste. Today’s pre-mixed alcoholic drinks are crafted with quality ingredients, offering bar-worthy flavour without the faff. They’re ideal for effortless entertaining—just chill, serve, and enjoy. No mess, no mixers, no shaking or stirring required.
Crowd-Pleasing RTD Cocktails
RTD (ready-to-drink) cocktails are a party host’s dream. Available in single cans or larger sharing sizes, these drinks offer classic cocktail flavours in seconds. Think tangy Margaritas, smooth Pina Coladas, or bold Espresso Martinis—all with zero prep time.
If you’re stocking up, make sure to check out our RTD cocktails—they’re made with real fruit juice and premium spirits for the ultimate convenience-meets-craft cocktail experience.
Funkin Cocktails: The Party Essential
A brand I have been aware of for a while is Funkin Cocktails, a brand that believes great cocktails should be easy to enjoy, wherever the party is! These bar quality at-home cocktails come in a range of products, like pre-mixed cans, cocktail mixers and cocktail purees. Whether you’re heading to a BBQ, getting ready for girls’ night, or hosting your own at-home happy hour, our range has something for everyone.
I personally love the cocktail cans, in which you can pick up packs of 12 for around £25 in flavours like Raspberry Spritz and Apple Sour Martini.
With fun-size cans to larger pouches perfect for sharing, it’s worth exploring the full collection of Funkin Cocktails for handy drinks that can give some good times! I’ve also got my key on some of the bestsellers like the Pornstar Martini and Strawberry Daiquiri, which bring fruity, fresh flavours to at-home parties and gatherings.
One of the best ideas is to bring these to any evening picnics or little festivals where you can bring your own booze to!
Supermarket Favourites to Add to Your Lineup
Alongside your Funkin faves, you can build your party bar with these popular supermarket picks:
- Prosecco & Sparkling Wine – A classic choice that pairs beautifully with pre-mixed fruit cocktails.
- Flavoured Soda Waters – Ideal topping up Gin’s and other spirits for laid-back garden parties or park picnics.
- Non-Alcoholic Options – Keep guests happy with alcohol-free bubbly, mocktails or sparkling juices.
Tips for Serving Like a Pro
- Serve cold: Pre-mixed drinks taste best chilled, so pop them in the fridge or cool them in an ice bucket before guests arrive.
- Add garnishes: Boost your presentation with citrus wedges, fresh herbs or fruit slices—even with pre-made drinks.
- Stock variety: Offer a range of flavours so everyone can find something they love.
Let the Good Times Flow
Hosting a party should be fun, not stressful. With supermarket-bought pre-mixed alcoholic drinks and our expertly crafted RTD cocktails, you can spend more time with your guests and less time behind the bar. All flavour, no fuss—cheers to that!
