Pleasantly surprised by this one!

Please note that I have received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.

I was asked to review the new Blue Raspberry martini cocktail mix by Mott's Mr & Mrs T. Once I managed to get my hands on the product, which proved to be quite the expedition, it was smooth sailing since all that was left was the drinking part. lol

I have to be honest, while I have bought cocktail mixes in the past, I never even knew that Mott's had a selection of them, except for Clamato obviously, which is not exactly a cocktail mix, but definitely an important ingredient in the equally important Bloody Caesar in Canada. The Mai Tai and Blue Raspberry martini mixes are the two new flavours which is why not all supermarkets seemed to have received them yet, while the older three flavours were well stocked everywhere I went.

I must admit that the lower price point compared to other brands was quite surprising to me. It wrongfully made me doubt the quality of the mixes. I was also a bit scared of the highly-chemical-toxic-Windex-like looking colour of this mix just as a lot of people would, but you know what? It wasn't half bad! And not only that, once in a martini glass, it looks a lot more like an ocean turquoise blue and it is actually quite beautiful. Personally, I actually liked the Blue Raspberry martini better than the Mai Tai. I don't know if it is because my expectations were a lot lower for the blue mix, but I was definitely pleasantly surprised.

I expected the Blue Raspberry mix to be a lot sweeter than it actually is. I also expected it to be sweeter than the Mai Tai mix and I did not think that was the case. I was afraid it would taste too much like candy, but it has a nice subtle tartness to it that does remind one of actual raspberries instead of those awful blue freezies we used to have as kids that would turn our entire mouths blue. We were actually out of ice when we tried the mix which means it tasted sweeter too, and I honestly didn't think it was bad at all. One of the reasons why I preferred this one to the Mai Tai mix might be that I felt the vodka lightened the heaviness by cutting into the sweetness while dark rum pretty much added to the sugar level of the Mai Tai.

Much to my surprise, I think I would consider purchasing this cocktail mix again and I would definitely like to try some of Mott's cocktail ideas or other recipes for more elaborate drinks with the rest of the bottle. And I will try the other varieties, can't wait for that margarita!

If you are looking for something a bit different to serve your guests, which also looks great in a nice martini glass, don't be fooled by the colour or the price, the Blue Raspberry martini mix is really quite nice with a decent vodka. I am sure it would also be a lot better shaken with ice, which is what we will do next time.

Fun drink mix

#got it free from Chick Advisor's Product Review Club. I tired the Blue Raspberry with lemon ice tea and I really loved the taste, it reminds me a jolly rancher candy. I did find this mix also on the sweeter side so you may want to put less Mott's mix if you don't like a super sweet drink.

My New Favorite Drink Mix

I got to try out two of these drinks mixes. One being the mai tai and this one Blue Raspberry. Out of the two this one was my favorite. Just taste like blue slushie!

I didn't find it as sweet as the other one, I tried this one as well both ways with alcohol and without. I also tried it with vodka and rum. They both mixes very well. Little bit to ice and your all set for some fun.

This would be a good mix for any little get together for the summer. Of really anytime of year.

Excellent! First try, and loved it like the Mai Tai!

This was a great reviewing opportunity! Having already tried Mai Tai, I expected a lot from this one: and I got it! The mix was delicious in both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks! Awesome! Would recommend to all of my friends!

Very sweet!

We preferred the Mai Tai martini over this flavour. It's not a bad flavor, it's just very sweet, even if you only use a small amount; we kept trying to "water down" out drink so it wouldn't be so sweet and over powering So in the end it wasn't for use, but if you're looking for a blue raspberry mixer, this will be perfect!

I really enjoyed this product!

I enjoyed the Mott's Mr & Mrs T Blue Raspberry Martini Cocktail Mix.
At first on it own over ice, I found it slightly sweet. After blending it in my mixer with ice and frozen peaches and a splash of Vodka, I was thrilled with the taste. Fruity, summery and delish.
My guests enjoyed my concoction as much as I did!
Thanks for the chance, ChickAdvisor!

A perfect blue Martini

Mott's has done it again! A perfectly blue Martini, this blue raspberry drink taste wunderful looks great and is the perfect drink to have next to the pool on a hot day! You won't regret this drink!

Definitely worth a try

This was great in my martini shaker with ice and iceberg vodka. I like the combo of sweet and sour taste that it has. My girlfriends and I finished half of the bottle. Lol. Was also really good mixed in with the Strawberry Daquiri mix!

Boisson parfaite pour l'été !

J'ai reçu ce produit parce que je suis membre du ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. #cadeau #gotitfree.

J'adore la saveur de framboise bleue. Pas trop sucrée ! C'est une boisson rafraîchissante pour l'été! Cette bouteille est aussi excellente avec ou sans alcool.

Nous allons la recommander à nos amis dans nos prochains party!

Sooo good !!!
