Lifeafterfive* enjoy a Kiwi Cocktail…

It was over 90 years before a select few apples were allowed across the Aussie / NZ ditch, yet luckily for cocktail enthusiasts a more popular kiwi export has migrated in a fraction of the time.

With an ethos combining fun and freshness, VnC Cocktails have conquered a gap in the Aussie market by creating a pre-mixed, premium range of cocktails. A delivery of the naturally spirited range arrived on my doorstep just in time for a weekend getaway up the coast.

Our unanimous fave was the Passionfruit Caprioska, based on a fruit which is described as “the mousy librarian who removes her glasses and everyone realises is a real fox”. A close second was the mango daiquiri, a blend of banana and mango with New Zealand vodka.

Despite a high number of sweet ready-to-drink beverages on the bottle-o shelves, the concept of a natural fruit juice cocktail seems to have been previously overlooked. Founded by kiwi Shane McKillen in 2007, his commitment to no artificial colouring, preservatives or colours will appeal to those health conscious Sydney-siders who are still partial to a tasty cocktail.

Despite being the first company in the world to gain Certified Emissions Measurement and Reduction Scheme (CEMARS) product certification, VnC cheekily claims that the “only problem NZ has is that there’s only three tv channels”.

Following in the footsteps of Flight of the Conchords, pavlovas and beached whales (forget the pesky apples), this is a kiwi export that is likely to punch above its weight (and probably soon be claimed as our own).

Prepare Yourself. Not Your Drink.

We have officially begun the holiday season and that means there will be parties, parties and more parties. You should be stocking your cabinets with one thing and one thing only: VnC Cocktails. No need for expensive shopping trips, prep-time cutting into your hair and makeup time or annoying cleanup. VnC is easy. You just Chill. Pour. Drink.

The background is simple. There was a guy in New Zealand named Shane McKillan who wanted to spend less time prepping and more time drinking and so, VnC was born. Made with premium vodka and 100% natural fruit juice, it is an asset for the most ambitious hostess and a must have for the laziest (I fall into this second category.) You literally pull it out of the fridge and pour it, or if your having one of those nights, just drink it right out of the bottle.

It also makes a great gift if you’re showing up to a party and want to make sure there is something you can drink. Do you really expect to be served a mojioto or a mai-tai in the dead of winter? Well now you can, along with passionfruit caprioska, strawberry daiquiri, margarita, mango daiquiri, banana daiquiri, pomegranate cosmopolitan and feijoa apple.

So go ahead and be that person with the ridiculous tropical request in below zero weather. VnC has got you covered.

Your cocktail making time should never cut into your cocktail drinking time.

We had a blast at Laura Slade Wiggins Birthday Pool Party!
