This April Fool's Day, Funkin Cocktails is inviting fans of blue raspberry flavors to the Funkin Fruit Farm, touted as the only one of its kind in the UK that grows the colorful berry.
Blue raspberry is a key ingredient in the brand's Blue Raspberry Martini and Funkin shares that its rare blue raspberries are cultivated with alternative methods such as reading excerpts from Sally Rooney novels and playing "sad girl pop music" to the seeds. Though the farm may not be real, the Blue Raspberry Martinis introduced by the brand earlier this year are ready to be sipped by the can.
On April 1st, Funkin introduced its fictional fruit farm with a campaign referencing the BBC Spaghetti Tree, a three-minute hoax report broadcast from April Fool's Day in 1957.
