About Funkin

Funkin makes cocktail purées and ready-to-drink cans sold to bars and to consumers, founded in 1999. A.G. Barr acquired the business in 2015 as a route into the growing at-home cocktail market. Its purées let bars make consistent fruit cocktails without preparing fresh fruit, which is why it built its business through trade supply first.
