4 Must-Try International Cocktails from Craftmix
1. Espresso Martini (England)
While many pretenders claim they invented it, the rich, velvety Espresso Martini can be traced back to a Dick named Bradsell - an iconic British bartender from the 80s. The story goes,a customer rolled up asking for a drink that would wake him up AND get him lit. Leave it to a legend like Bradsell to deliver with the caffeinated masterpiece Espresso Martini!
With Craftmix, you can easily recreate that same energizing, decadent vibe at home. Just shake our smoooooth Espresso Martini mix with some vodka and water. Bam - you've got an espresso martini packing a 30mg caffeine punch! Perfect for an indulgent nightcap or much-needed pick-me-up.
Or hey, ditch the booze altogether for an anytime mocktail. Our coffee mix is a shortcut to deliciously energizing refreshments like alcohol-free espresso "martinis" and iced coffee drinks.
2. Classic Margarita (Mexico)
When life hands you limes, you better be making a big ol' pitcher of authentic Mexican margaritas! Let our mouth-wateringly zesty lime mixer transport you straight to the sunny beaches and local cantinas of Mexico.
This baby captures all those fresh, vibrant citrus notes and unmistakable south-of-the-border zing that'll have you doing the salsa after just one sip. Simply blend our mixer with some quality tequila and a splash of triple sec, then prepare to get whisked away to Margaritaville.
Whether you like it frozen or on the rocks, with a salt rim or straight up, Craftmix makes it stupid easy to craft that quintessential, lime-forward marg flavor you'd expect from a seasoned Mexican bartender.
3. Mint Mojito (Cuba)
When the summer heat has you sweating like a beach tourist in Havana, it's time to channel your inner Cuban and cool off with a crisp, minty mojito.
Craftmix makes it way too easy to capture that iconic Caribbean refreshment. Just muddle up our crisp, vibrantly fresh mint mixer with some white rum, lime juice and a splash of soda water.
One sip and you'll instantly be transported to an oceanside cabana, gentle breeze blowing through the palm trees as you sip away without a care in the world. This mojito is so minty, so effervescently light, it's like taking a tropical island vacay without ever leaving your backyard.
4. Blood Orange Mai Tai (Tahiti...or California?)
Who needs an expensive tropical vacay when you can sail straight to a Tahitian oasis with this fruity, rum-soaked mai tai? Well, maybe it's not 100% Tahitian...
The mai tai's origins are kinda murky, but the guy who claims to have invented it in 1944 was running a Cali joint called Trader Vic's. Victor J. Bergeron said he whipped up the iconic combo of rum, lime, orange liqueur and those signature almond/tropical flavors right there in Oakland. So we can't say for sure where it's from, but it's definitely still amazing!
With Craftmix's sunny blood orange mixer, you get to capture that trademark sweet 'n' tart mai tai vibe no matter where you're sipping from. Just blend it up with a generous pour of rum, a squeeze of fresh lime, and a splash of orange liqueur or almond syrup if you're feeling fancy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make a non-alcoholic Mai Tai?
Yes, you can! Just add a package of Craftmix's Blood Orange powder to some sparkling or filtered water, add some ice, and mix.
How do you make an Espresso Martini frothy?
To make an Espresso Martini frothy, you must shake the ingredients vigorously in a cocktail shaker with ice. This will help to create a frothy texture and incorporate air into the mixture. It's important to use a cocktail shaker instead of a blender or other mixing method, as the shaking motion is what creates the frothiness. Additionally, make sure to use chilled espresso or coffee and plenty of ice in the shaker to ensure the mixture is cold and frothy.
Are Margaritas gluten free?
Yes, Craftmix Margaritas are always gluten free.
