Consumers are opting for fall-friendly, campfire-inspired flavors

Implications - Veering away from sweet beverages for fall, many consumers are opting for smoky, toasted flavors. Beverages that offer a woodsy twist immediately set themselves apart and liven up the drinking experience, and more heavily involve the aromatic aspect of flavor. Ultimately, consumers are searching for new ways to experience the comfort and coziness associated with colder seasons.

2. Savory Cocktail Syrups - Cocktail syrups with savory, smoky flavors - bacon, maple, jalapeno, etc. are increasingly popular among consumers.
3. Hot Cocktails - Hot cocktails are becoming increasingly popular and are being added to menus as a cozy fall and winter drink alternative.
Industry Implications
