VnC Cocktails on NZI Business

A Kiwi company is selling their innovative one litre ready-to-pour cocktail range around the world and about to expand production.

VnC Cocktails was founded by Shane McKillen, one of the original investors in the hugely successful 42Below vodka, who saw a market for a quality ready to drink cocktail that would appeal to adults. McKillen told TV ONE’s NZI Businesss that the strategy is “similar but different” to 42Below and its success has been built on quality natural ingredients and basing production in New Zealand.

The two-year-old company is now exporting to 16 countries worldwide including China, Thailand, India, Hong Kong, Canada, Monaco, and Russia and has recently won several awards in global beverage competitions. VnC Cocktails has now purchased the Pinto juice plant in Tauranga to increase manufacturing capabilities and meet demand.
