Yes, Messina Cocktails Really Exist And Now We Officially Have Our Summer Drinks Sorted

Drools

Alright, we’ll be the first ones to admit the two things that managed to keep us sane this year: a delicious tub of Messina ice-cream and our favourite drink (whatever that personal preference might be). 

Now, as we near the end of 2020 the two have been combined to create a concoction that is going to have us celebrating well into the new year. 

Teaming up with Cocktail Porter, Messina has combined their iconic gelato and spreads with a range of boozy updates—which yes, you can make at home. 

The new DIY packs, created by head mixologist Tim Phillips, are the perfect Christmas gift (or just a way to spice up knock-off drinks at home). 

There are two delicious flavours on offer, the Dulce De Leche Espresso Martini and the Coconut & Lychee Giña Colada. The first, a twist on the traditional Espresso Martini and the second an extra fruity, gin-fuelled version of a classic Piña Colada.

In the Dulce De Leche creation, you’ll find Ciroc vodka, coffee liqueur, premium cold-drip coffee and Messina’s dulce de leche topping, as well as their chocolate hazelnut spread and shaved coconut to finish it off.

In the ‘Giña Coladas’, as they’ve been called, you’ll find Tanqueray gin, coconut water, pineapple juice, verjuice, and vouchers to go pick up a tub of Messina coconut and lychee gelato.

You can also pick from two different sizes, with a mini pack serving up to six cocktails and a large, which can make 18 of the delicious cocktails.
