- Flavour Consistency: You get the same vibrant strawberry taste in every pour.
- Natural Settling: Needs a good shake before use as it can separate slightly.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'The Copper Key', a popular speakeasy-style bar in Cardiff, was struggling with the cost and inconsistency of fresh strawberries, especially out of season, which affected their best-selling signature cocktail.
"We made the switch to Funkin for our 'Cardiff Cooler' and the impact was instant. The flavour is spot on every single time, our prep has been cut down to seconds, and our margins on that drink have improved. Our customers haven't noticed anything but great taste."
Owen Davies – Bar Manager
The bar successfully reduced its fresh ingredient wastage by over 80% and streamlined its cocktail-making process, allowing them to serve 30% more signature drinks during peak weekend hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before opening, give the pouch a good shake to ensure the puree is perfectly blended.
- Snip the corner cleanly and use the resealable cap to keep it fresh between uses.
- For very high-volume bars, consider decanting into a labelled squeezy bottle for faster service.
Keeping It Going
- Always store in the refrigerator after opening to maintain maximum freshness and flavour.
- Practice a 'first in, first out' (FIFO) stock rotation system to ensure you're always using the freshest product.
- Keep the cap and spout clean by wiping away any drips to prevent crystallisation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does the Funkin puree last once opened?
A: When refrigerated, it's designed to stay fresh for up to 8 days. Always check the packaging for the most accurate guidance.
Q: Is this puree sweetened?
A: Funkin purees contain a small amount of sugar to ensure stability and consistency, but they are primarily fruit-based for a natural, authentic flavour.
Q: Can I use this for frozen cocktails?
A: Absolutely! It blends perfectly in frozen drinks like a Strawberry Daiquiri or Margarita, providing great colour and flavour.
Q: Is the Funkin CF729 strawberry puree gluten-free and vegan?
A: Yes, Funkin strawberry puree is made from 100% natural ingredients and is suitable for both vegan and gluten-free diets.
Q: Does it contain any bits or seeds?
A: The puree is smooth and has been strained, so you get all the flavour without any seeds or unwanted texture in your final drink.
Q: What is the best way to store it before opening?
A: Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, just like you would with other ambient bar ingredients.
Q: How many cocktails can I make from one 1kg pouch?
A: This depends entirely on your recipe, but on average, you can expect to make between 20-30 cocktails, making it a very cost-effective choice.
Q: How does this compare to a strawberry syrup?
A: A puree is made from real fruit and has a thicker, more natural texture and flavour. Syrups are typically thinner, much sweeter, and often use artificial flavourings.
The Funkin Advantage: Consistency is King
Anyone who's run a bar knows that consistency is the secret to happy, returning customers. That's where Funkin professional bar ingredients truly shine. For over two decades, they've perfected the art of capturing authentic fruit flavour in a format that busy professionals can rely on, night after night. This isn't just about saving time on prepping fruit; it's about eliminating variables. No more worrying about under-ripe strawberries or seasonal price hikes. You get the same perfect base for your creations every single time you open a pouch. This reliability allows your bar team to work faster, with more confidence, and deliver a premium product that protects your reputation and keeps the tills ringing. It’s a smart investment in operational excellence.
Explore more from FunkinWhy 100% Natural Ingredients Matter in Your Mix
Ever wondered why some strawberry drinks taste artificial or overly sweet? It's often down to syrups packed with artificial flavourings and sweeteners. Funkin's approach is different; they use real fruit, creating a puree that tastes, well, like real strawberries. Think of it like the difference between a freshly squeezed orange juice and an orange-flavoured squash. One has depth, a natural tartness, and a genuine fruit character, while the other is just a one-note sweetness. This natural profile means the puree blends beautifully with spirits and other mixers, enhancing them rather than overpowering them, for a more sophisticated, authentic-tasting drink.
Who Should Buy This?
- Cocktail Bars & Pubs: For crafting consistently delicious Strawberry Daiquiris, Mojitos, and signature cocktails without the prep time.
- Event Caterers: Perfect for large-scale events, ensuring quick service and a high-quality finish for welcome drinks.
- Dessert Parlours & Cafés: A brilliant ingredient for levelling up milkshakes, smoothies, and drizzling over ice cream or cheesecakes.
- Hotels & Restaurants: Ideal for room service, breakfast bars, and restaurant bars needing reliable quality for strawberry puree for drinks.
