The Question! It begs to be
asked....so go ahead....ask! "Why should I purchase a cocktail
mix online when I can go to my neighborhood grocery store or
liquor store and get what I need there?" The answer is simple.
If you want your eyes to roll when you take your first sip of
a cocktail, then
Island De-Lites Cocktail Mixes are for you.
We are only in the business of
producing cocktail mixes and we take great pride in producing
Ultra-Premium products that contain
fruit juice and natural flavors with
NO PRESERVATIVES.
We are not a major spirits producer like Jose Cuervo or
Sauza who mass produce simply to bolster their liquor sales.
These companies are satisfied with using artificial flavors
and adding preservatives that always have an after taste. In
numerous blind professional taste panels Island
De-Lites products have dominated the competition
finishing 1st overall every time. Our advantage? Our
product is manufactured 'dry'
versus the 'liquid' versions you see in stores. This gives
you, the consumer, the advantage of making your mixes
fresh each time you need them. In addition, we are the
only company to have a full line of both traditional
and low carb versions. Here is a link for carbohydrate
comparisons to other
leading brands.
We also developed our product with the cost conscience
consumer in mind. With our product you only need to add the
base liquor for the perfect drink.
Each packet of Island De-Lites makes
32 oz.. Enough for 8 cocktails using the
recommended
4 oz. per drink. Our product
was made by blending fruit flavors and juices with more exotic
fruit flavors such as Passion Fruit, Key Lime and Almond to
take them beyond the boundaries of everyday and ho-hum. They
make an excitingly fresh and unique version of many of your
favorites including
Pina Colada,
Strawberry Daiquiri,
Margarita ,
Cosmopolitan Cocktail ,
Apple Martini,
Rum Runner,
Hurricane , and
Prickly Pear Margarita. We also have our very own
Sweet & Sour Mix for those of you who like to make your
own Martini's, Long Island Iced Tea's and Amaretto Sours. Can
you just imagine your guests reaction when they taste your
'better than a bar' cocktail made right at home?
We have utilized some the worlds
finest liquor in our cocktail recipes including:
Bacardi Rum,
Dekuyper,
Malibu Rum, Skyy Vodka, Tanquery Ten
Gin,
Captain Morgans Rum, Cointreau, Grand Marnier
And
Sauza Tequila.
We feel it is very important to use the best liquor available.
We have also selected some of finest home bar accessories to
compliment our cocktail mixes and make your home bartending
experience even more enjoyable. Our choice of
Cocktail Shaker comes after months of personal testing
with several types and sizes. The
Swizzle Sticks and
Cocktail Napkins we have chosen are frankly the
prettiest we found. And finally the beverage rimmers known as
Cocktail Candy. They can rim up to 60 cocktails and
provide a great appearance and added flavor for all of our
cocktail mixes.
We welcome you to browse our site, e-mail us with any
questions and of course to purchase our product. Were sure you
will enjoy our cocktail mixes as much as we do!
Why Dry? As a
company interested in in providing the best product to our
customers, we felt it necessary to utilize dry formula
manufacturing for several reasons. The most important being
flavor. Ever wonder why you
have trouble duplicating at home the great flavors of
cocktails that you are served out? The reason is simple. Most
companies utilize a 'dry' mix that is made daily. The largest
chain restaurant group in the country utilizes powder mixes.
The biggest difference in flavor is provided by the
preservatives necessary to be added to the liquids to provide
shelf stability. There is little that can be done to mask
their after taste. The second reason was
shipping cost to the consumer...You! Imagine the
cost of shipping 32 to 33.3 oz. liquid plus the weight of the
bottle. We can ship 16 packets of our low carb version and 5
of our traditional version for the same cost as 1 bottle. Not
to mention the chance of breakage. The third reason was
environmental. Unless you
recycle, bottles fill our landfills with tons of non
bio-degradable trash. We utilize food grade protective pouches
that weigh less than 4 grams each. It would take 30 or more to
take up the same space in a landfill as a single bottle. So
there you have it!
