Coquito Cool

Traditional Puerto Rican eggnog serves as flavor inspiration

Similar to eggnog, this beverage holds nostalgic elements for those who grew up drinking the beverage over the holidays.

Insight - The rise of global cuisine speaks to the increased appetite both from brands and consumers for experiencing the culturally-inspired flavors driven by human migration. The rise of ethnically diverse product consumption speaks to a broadening of cultural diversity across categories.
Workshop Question - Where does tradition fit into your brand's process for seeking product inspiration?

3. Festive Latin Themed Beverages and Foods - The growing popularity of festive Latin flavors and beverages like coquito across food, beverage, and hospitality categories signify a broadening of cultural diversity and provide disruptive innovation opportunities for related industries.
