Everyone a bartender: with these cocktail tubes, you can whip up a top cocktail in no time

Pornstar Martini tube

I made a fantastic discovery this weekend that I just have to share with you: cocktail tubes! These are ready-made cocktails, yes: ready-to-serve. So if you fancy a cocktail but don’t have a bartender’s skills or all the necessary ingredients at home, these new cocktail tubes from Bols will have a delicious cocktail in front of you within seconds. Cheers!

Long story short: it was Sunday evening and I fancied a cocktail. But hey, I don’t need to tell you that there was nowhere I could go with my cocktail craving. Or wait a minute, hadn’t I recently put some cocktail tubes in my fridge?

Yes! One tube makes two cocktails, Pornstar Martinis in my case—cut a passion fruit in half, and voilà! There I was, in no time at all. How relaxed is that?

5 world-famous cocktails, choose your favorite

Do you never choose a Pornstar Martini from the cocktail menu? No problem, because the cocktail tubes come in different varieties:

Margarita Azul: spicy & refreshing, 14.9% alc.
Espresso Martini: rich & smooth, 14.9% alc. (bartenders apparently have a burning hatred of making Espresso Martinis, but this way it’s sorted at home in no time—hooray).
Red Light Negroni: bittersweet & complex, 21.9% alc.
Very Old Fashioned: aromatic & intense, 30% alc.

And of course the Pornstar Martini: exotic & fresh, 14.9% alc.

The Bols cocktail tubes cost € 5.99 for 200 ml; a 700 ml bottle of ready-to-serve cocktail costs € 19.99.
