Cocktails from K' road

These K'Road cocktails are a little past their prime! For an updated look at AKL happy hour haunts, click here. 

As we get back to the daily grind, the team here at Remix are loving the cheeky cocktail ideas from our new favourite K’ Road hot spot 69. Each one is lovingly made with V Pure Natural Energy, so they give us the energy kick we’re craving after two weeks off – and the alcohol doesn’t hurt either!

The added bonus is that V Pure is made from just six all-natural ingredients – apple juice, sparkling water, lemon juice, guarana seed extract, green coffee beans, and natural V flavour.

You can see why we’re on board, right? Give it a go yourselves from these recipes below.
