Kocktail Christmas Cracker Review

Looking for a unique and fun way to add to your Christmas dinner table this year? Move aside crackers with boring jokes, these are the Christmas crackers you’ll want this year, packed with ready-to-pour cocktails.

I’ve been lucky enough to try these cocktail Christmas Crackers by Kocktail. These aren’t your ordinary crackers, inside each one, you’ll find the most delicious cocktail. These little bottles of your favourite cocktail just need adding to some ice and you’ve got the perfect cocktail in seconds.

Kocktail was founded in 2020 by two friends who wanted to bring high-quality cocktails home. Working closely with the former senior bartender at the Savoy Hotel, they crafted a range of premium bottled cocktails. Now available in top retailers like John Lewis and Fenwick, Kocktail offers easy-to-make, bartender-quality drinks.

What’s inside?

There are four crackers to choose from and they also come as a set of four. The cocktails are Amaretto Sour, Negroni, Passionfruit Martini and Espresso Martini.

First up, a modern twist on a classic, this Passionfruit Martini blends Hepple Gin’s exclusive vanilla vodka with tangy passionfruit liqueur and a hint of Aperol. This crowd-pleaser is best enjoyed shaken and strained into a chilled glass.

Next is an Espresso Martini. Featuring a rich and creamy blend of vodka, Caffè Borghetti, and cold brew coffee. Shake well with ice and strain into a chilled glass. A perfect pick-me-up.

Indulge in the Negroni, a timeless Italian cocktail crafted with the finest spirits. Featuring Hepple Gin, Carpano Vermouth, and Campari, this drink is a true classic. Simply stir with ice and savour the rich, complex flavours.

Finally, it’s time for the Amaretto Sour. This is a sophisticated blend of Italian amaretto, zesty lemon, and smooth Buffalo Trace Bourbon Whiskey. This unique cocktail is best shaken with ice and served in a rocks glass, garnished with a fresh lemon wheel.
