Cool Bean® jelly bean cocktail mixers

bellini ~ white peach nectar, Prosecco (Italian sparkling wine)
Dream of sipping crisp, sparkling cocktails with great friends on an elegant Venetian piazza? Here’s the ticket – with our fresh, fruity take on the effervescent Bellini champagne cocktail. You’ll get a sparkle in your eye just uncorking the lid to this ultra-hip jellybean. And the buon tempo won’t stop as you and your buon amicos spend an extraordinary evening savoring the wonderful blend of sweet peach and bubbly champagne.

bellini history ~ Created in the ‘30s at Harry’s Bar in Venice, this sweet, bubbly cocktail was named in honor of 15th century renaissance artist Giovanni Bellini. Oddly enough, Bellini himself was a despondent Bud man and probably would have substituted peach for prunes.

cosmopolitan ~ vodka, Coiuntreau, cranberry juice, lime juice, lime rind
This upscale, urban cocktail jellybean is blended especially for the socialite who – like the Cosmopolitan martini itself – lives large. Large flavors. Large scenes. Large parties. Large hang-overs the next morning. Blending the bold juice of cranberry with a sharp citrus tang, we’ve brought together disperse elements that are certain to spark witty party conversation. And, get boring neighbors insanely jealous that they weren’t included on the guest list.

cosmopolitan history ~ The story of the Cosmopolitan’s origin is as mysterious as the flavors of this tempting libation itself. Surfice to say, however, that it was probably NOT first concocted at a biker bar in rural Nebraska. The rest is left to your imagination, and to your favorite cocktail shaker..

mojito ~ spearmint leaves, sugar, lime, white rum, club soda
Picture yourself in Cuba during the summer of '43. 116 degrees by noon. 95% humidity. Trolling for Marlin with Hemingway – sugar cane plantations dotting the horizon. Better yet, let's forgo the whole sea sickness and live bait scene. Let's cut to a fan-cooled casino in Havana. That's where you'll find the Mojito at home. Tall, cool, tangy and refreshing. And that's the inspiration for our Mojito jellybean – a citrus cocktail confection with a finish of mint. Care to Salsa on the veranda?

mojito history ~ Many slightly-sloshed historians believe the Mojito to be Hemingway's favorite drink. First created at Sloppy Joes Bar in Havana Cuba, or was it Key West Florida or Ft. Lauderdale – they were out at sea too long to know for sure.

lemon drop martini~ vodka, lemon juice and one sugar cube
Sweet meets sour in this fun, faithful recreation of the classic and sophisticated lemon drop martini. Blending a hint of vodka with lemon juice and sugar, this jelly bean cocktail goes down smooth and easy. With a tangy bite at the end, it’s guaranteed to leave you puckered-up and ready to kiss whoever’s near (which is why we rarely eat them in public).
