Cocktails Just Got a Whole Lot Easier With SA’s Just Short Mixers
Just Short delivers spontaneous cocktails on-the-go. Here’s what you need to know.
Everyone loves a good cocktail, but let’s be honest, making them yourself can be a bit of a hack. Thankfully, the clever folks over at Just Short have solved the problem, making the process of whipping up an exotic drink a hellava lot easier.
According to Just Short, the name derives from the fact that they’re essentially “complete, but just short of the booze”, making it clear what to do next.
Coming in 200ml cans in various flavours and varietals, the brand’s range of cocktail pre-mixes simply requires you to pour over ice, and add gin, vodka, or whatever spirit you prefer. Alternatively, you can even have them straight, making them ready-to-go mocktails in a can, which is pretty cool too.

The Just Short range includes a Paloma (grapefruit, pink peppercorn, and vanilla), Mo-Yeet-Oh (mint, limeleaf and tropical tea), Waterberry (watermelon, seasonal berries, and black tea), Sweet Nothing (sugar snap pea, basil, and star anise), and Komodo (granadilla, pickled ginger, and coriander).
The cans can be purchased in a pack of six from the Just Short website at a price of R210.
