Top 100 Drinking Trends in October

From Prebiotic Cherry Colas to Multisensory Cooling Brandies

— October 27, 2024 — Lifestyle
The October 2024 drinking trends showcase a vibrant array of seasonal flavors, prominently featuring autumnal staples such as pumpkin spice and Halloween-inspired beverages. Notably, these drinks present intriguing combinations that push culinary boundaries, pairing classic sweet ingredients like marshmallows with unique flavors such as ube, resulting in elevated and decadent experiences for consumers.

In addition, brands are increasingly embracing heritage as a central theme in the realm of spirits and alcoholic beverages. This approach emphasizes the rich histories of traditional spirits like gin and whiskey while presenting new offerings in luxurious bottles or convenient cans. For instance, ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages reflect this trend through innovative fall flavors and distinctive packaging designs.

Furthermore, health-conscious options are emerging as alternatives to traditional alcoholic drinks, focusing on prebiotics and mushrooms. As a result, mocktails are gaining attention, especially with the holiday season approaching, as consumers seek flavorful alternatives to conventional cocktails.
