Cascara Cabinet cocktails
Cascara Cabinet Fizz pairs naturally with gin, elderflower cordial, and citrus for a light botanical spritz — a low-ABV alternative to a Aperol spritz. Cascara Cabinet Boom, with 40mg of natural caffeine from coffee fruit, works as a coffee cocktail base: combine with coffee liqueur, a squeeze of orange, and ice for a lower-alcohol alternative to an espresso martini. Both variants are carbonated at 250ml, making them ideal long-drink mixers for restaurant and bar menus. Three ready-to-serve cocktail recipes are available on this page. Both SKUs are available for hospitality wholesale via cascara-cabinet.com/trade.
There's a moment in every dinner party when someone asks what's in the glass. With Cascara Cabinet, the answer is genuinely interesting — which is more than can be said for most mixers.
The coffee cherry has a flavour profile that bartenders have been quietly excited about for a while now. Fruity, lightly tart, with notes of hibiscus and sun-dried fruit. It plays well with gin. It's unexpectedly good with rum. It does something to a vodka tonic that makes the vodka tonic considerably more interesting. It also does something rather elegant with champagne — or any sparkling wine, if we're being democratic about it. 50/50. No garnish needed.
We've put together a few serves to get you started. None of them require a cocktail shaker, a special licence, or ingredients you can't find in a normal supermarket. Some of them don't even require alcohol — which, in our experience, is when people are most impressed.
The Cabinet Royale Fizz + champagne or any sparkling wine. 50/50. That's it. The coffee fruit does the rest. Serve cold, drink immediately, accept compliments gracefully.
The Cabinet Spritz Fizz + dry white wine + fresh mint + ice. Equal parts. The mint is not optional.
The 3pm Fix Boom + gin + squeeze of lime + ice. For when the afternoon meeting runs long and you need something that feels like a reward without becoming a problem.
The Cascara Mule Fizz + vodka + fresh ginger + lime + ice. Essentially a Moscow Mule, but with a better origin story.
The Mocktail Cabinet Fizz + elderflower cordial + cucumber + sparkling water + ice. For the designated driver who deserves something worth sipping.

FAQ
Can I use Cascara Cabinet in cocktails?
Yes — both Fizz and Boom work well as mixers. The fruity, lightly tart flavour pairs naturally with gin, rum, vodka and non-alcoholic spirits.
Which flavour works best in cocktails?
Fizz is the more versatile mixer — caffeine-free and lighter. Boom adds a natural caffeine kick, which works well in afternoon cocktails or espresso martini alternatives.
Does the carbonation survive mixing?
Yes, if you pour gently over ice. Add spirits first, then Cascara Cabinet. Don't stir aggressively.
Is Cascara Cabinet good in mocktails?
Excellent. The complexity of the coffee fruit flavour means it doesn't need alcohol to be interesting. Add citrus, herbs and ice.
