Our Insights
Aroma
This cocktail mixer has a refreshing aroma of pineapple and basil.
Flavor
This basil pineapple cocktail mixer is all about fresh flavors! The basil is the main attraction, with a nice herbal kick. The pineapple comes through next, but it’s not sugary sweet. There’s even a hint of smokiness at the end, which is interesting. It’s like a tropical vacation in a bottle, without being overpowering.
Here’s the best part: this mixer isn’t syrupy or sugary. It tastes light and refreshing, with all the flavors working together perfectly. We even tried it without alcohol, and while it was a bit sweeter, it was still delicious.
Overall, this mixer is a great choice for anyone who wants a delicious and refreshing cocktail without the sugar overload.
Convenience
Full marks! This cocktail mixer is incredibly easy and effortless to prepare. All you need to do is grab the cocktail mixer from the fridge, add in your favorite spirit/alcohol, give it a mix and you are good to go. And not to forget! This requires no fancy bartender skills for preparation. We loved how seamlessly the cocktail mixer mixed up with the gin.
Value For Money (VFM)
Is it a value for money product? We say, yes! This definitely has a premium pricing yet it is a cost-effective way to prepare delicious cocktails at home. It comes across as an attractive alternative to pricier cocktails available at bars and restaurants. On average, a typical gin-based cocktail is priced at INR 600 and above in most metro cities. When you calculate including the cost of the alcohol, this is easier on the pocket but just as delicious!
