Obscure Indulgence

Food-flavored alcohol satiates consumer demand for drinkable indulgence

Implications - Looking to indulge in two ways at once, strangely flavored liquor varieties offer drinkers a multifaceted experience in a world obsessed with synergistic living. Obscure flavor varieties in liquor are fusing liquid consumables with a food-like experience for a singular way to enjoy sweet or savory edibles while still maintaining the additional benefit of drinking. This fuels the fast-expanding sophisticated side of casual alcohol consumption.
Trend Themes
1. Obscure Flavor Varieties in Liquor - Experimenting with strange and unique flavor varieties of alcohol is providing new experiences for consumers and fueling expansion in the market.
2. Fun and Creative Flavor Fusions - Mixing unusual and unexpected flavors together, particularly with alcohol, is leading to unique and entertaining culinary experiences.
3. Infusing Alcohol with Childhood Treats - Creating alcohol that is infused with the flavors of childhood treats, such as candy and ice cream, not only has an appeal to nostalgic adults, but also provides a fresh spin on classic products.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Experimenting with novel flavor combinations can lead to bold new offerings and opportunities for expanded audiences.
2. Alcohol - Infusing alcohol with fun and interesting flavors is an innovative way to create new products and experiences for consumers.
3. Health and Wellness - Integrating healthy and natural ingredients into traditionally indulgent products can create healthier options for consumers while retaining the sense of indulgence.
