Vok Beverages is bringing El Toro Pocket Cocktails back for a second year, introducing a new Express-O Martini alongside the returning Emergency Marg ahead of the peak summer and Christmas trading period.

Following its debut in 2025, the limited-edition range has rolled out nationally through BWS and Dan Murphy’s, offering a convenient alternative to traditional ready-to-drink formats and cocktails prepared from scratch.

Retailing for $15 each or two for $25, each Pocket Cocktail contains two 50mL bottles, pairing a spirit or liqueur with a complementary cocktail mixer. Simply combine the two, add ice and shake to create a bar-style cocktail in moments.

“Cocktails are increasingly becoming part of at-home entertaining, but recreating your favourites can mean purchasing multiple ingredients and spending time on preparation,” said Julia Foley, brand manager at Vok Beverages.

“Pocket Cocktails takes the hassle out of the process, while keeping the fun of mixing your own drink. Everything you need is in one convenient format, at a price point that makes it easy to try something new.”

With summer entertaining and Christmas approaching, the range is designed for a variety of occasions – from pre-drinks and house parties to barbecues and weekends away.

The compact format and accessible price point also make Pocket Cocktails a gifting option for Kris Kringle exchanges, stocking fillers and small host gifts.

“The lead-up to Christmas presents a great opportunity for Pocket Cocktails, particularly with people looking for affordable gifts and easy options to bring along to social occasions,” Foley added.

“At $15 each or two for $25, the range offers something a little different for shoppers, whether they're picking up a last-minute gift or stocking up for a summer gathering.”

El Toro Pocket Cocktails is available online now at eltorotequila.com.au and nationally via BWS, Dan Murphy’s and select independents for a limited time.
