New Zealand brand Good Cocktail’s range of non-alcoholic cocktail mixers is branching out from liquor channels into around half of Woolworths’ supermarkets nationally. 

Originally developed for Australia, the mixers are made with natural botanicals and no preservatives, artificial colours or flavours. 

Good Cocktail co-founder and director Rhona MacKenzie said they look forward to making its mixers more accessible with the launch into Woolworths. 

“The brand has experienced strong growth since its launch, supporting the liquor channel as well as being an early-adopter brand in the relatively new non-alcoholic category. 

“We’re really grateful to work with partners such as Australian Beverage Holdings who are our Australian distributor,” said MacKenzie. 

The Woolworths release will feature its Margarita with Orange Juice & Hibiscus Flowers and a Mojito with Lime Juice & Natural Mint Flavours. The mixers are made using just five natural ingredients.

Ideal for use with alcohol and non-alcohol drinks, the mixers have been designed for those seeking moderation in their intake.
