FAQ – Frequently asked questions about the Sun Shine Cocktail
The Sun Shine Cocktail is an absolute classic among fruity, refreshing non-alcoholic cocktails. This premium mocktail delights the palate with a harmonious, tropical blend of exotic passion fruit, delicate pineapple and zesty, fresh lemon. When mixed with orange juice, the concentrate unfolds a wonderfully full-bodied and sunny fruit aroma that instantly lifts your spirits.
Thanks to the highly concentrated Sun Shine cocktail base, the drink comes out perfectly in just 2–3 minutes. The ideal mixing ratio with orange juice is 1:2.
- Preparation: Pour 5 cl of Sun Shine (concentrate) and 10 cl of orange juice into a shaker (e.g. Boston Shaker) along with plenty of ice cubes. Shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds. Then strain into a long drink cocktail glass with the ice, or pour directly. Garnish with a slice of lemon if desired and add a straw.
The Sun Shine cocktail base is a highly concentrated product designed to go a long way. If you stick to the standard recipe of 5 cl concentrate and 10 cl orange juice plus ice, a single 0.7-litre bottle yields exactly 14 drinks, each with a volume of 0.3 to 0.35 litres. This makes the cocktail mix perfect for cost-effective planning of children’s parties, family celebrations, garden parties or professional bar service.
To preserve the first-class fruit quality in the long term, the Sun Shine Cocktail Premix is gently pasteurised during production. Unopened, the ready-to-serve cocktail has a shelf life of at least 36 months (3 years). The exact best-before date is clearly visible on the lower neck of the bottle above the back label. Once opened, the concentrate remains fully usable for approx. 6 months when stored in a cool place.
Serve the Sun Shine Cocktail well chilled in a classic cocktail long drink glass (approx. 0.35 l). For visual appeal, we recommend the optional garnish of a fresh slice of lemon. If you want to emphasise the tropical flair even more, use a coloured straw and fresh decorative fruits such as a slice of pineapple, a sprig of mint or a halved passion fruit.
The fruity recipe for the Sun Shine Cocktail can be creatively adapted in no time at all:
- With sparkling water: Give the cocktail a sparkling touch by adding a splash of sparkling water.
- Fruit boost: Add a few drops of fresh lemon or passion fruit juice for an extra burst of freshness.
- Frozen version: Blend the ingredients with plenty of crushed ice directly in an electric blender to create an icy summer slushy.
- For children’s parties: Serve the colourful drink with colourful ice cubes or a striking sugar rim on the glass.
