From Piña Colada to Mojito, how to make your favourite cocktails at home

Master of Mixes is the biggest cocktail mixer brand in the world – and for good reason, allowing you to create simple, fun, and most importantly tasty cocktails in the comfort of your own home. (And the best bit is you can knock back a second (or a third) tipple and forget about the bill at the end.) Master of Mixes have a range of cocktail mixers for all cocktail lovers from Margaritas to Daquiris, Espresso Martinis and more. Our picks – Piña Colada and the Mojito. For the first, be transported to Hawaii by adding Master of Mixes Pina Colada, White Rum and ice, and garnish with pineapple. (Hot tip, blend all the ingredients together for a creamy Colada texture). For the Mojito, add Master of Mixes Mojito, White Rum, ice, and garnish with fresh lime and mint and you’re ready to rock and roll.

Experience the taste of cocktails made from organic ingredients, featuring bright citrus and distilled with fresh herbs and spices using Agalima cocktail mixes. Agalima’s flavours, Margarita and Bloody Mary, come from an archive of classic recipes passed down through generations of cocktail lovers, so you know they're going to be great. Impress your friends and invite them over for an authentic taco and Margarita night using Agalima Margarita cocktail mix. To make everyone’s favourite drink, the classic Margarita, add Agalima Margarita Mix, ice and Corazon Blanco Tequila, and garnish with salt and lime. Or, if you like it hot, make a Spicy Margarita instead by muddling a jalapeño too, shake and serve! 

Created using naturally sourced ingredients, Fever-Tree's range of mixers, from tonic water to flavoured sodas and ginger ale, perfectly complement the world’s finest spirits. Fever-Tree’s mission is simple – to bring quality flavour and choice back to mixers to make fresh, pure and flavourful drinks. Take your Vodka Soda to the next level with Fever-Tree Lime and Yuzu Soda, Fris Vodka, lime and ice. Or, whip up a Berry Spritz – perfect for the summer – using Fever-Tree Wild Raspberry Tonic, ice, Poor Toms Gin and garnish with raspberries and thyme. Be sure to also try Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic  – it’s crisp, clean and made with natural quinine, making a refreshing G&T.
