Cocktail-Inspired Candies

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Candy Gummy Product by Sugar Sin is Inspired by a Classic Cocktail

— September 7, 2016 — Lifestyle
As its name suggests, the 'Cuba Libre' candy gummy sweets from Sugar Sin take after a classic cocktail recipe made from a base of rum and cola. These candies take inspiration from these cocktail drink ingredients and boast the same brown caramel colors, but also an entirely alcohol-free formula. The candies take the shape of small rounds that bear a bold letter "S" for distinctive branding.

Sugar Sin also makes two types of wine-inspired gummies that also offer sophisticated, yet playful versions of alcoholic drinks.

In recent years, many consumers have been curbing their intake of alcohol, which has opened up a ton of possibilities in the market for alcohol-inspired creations to crop up, without the undesirable side effects of actually consuming an alcoholic beverage.
Trend Themes
1. Alcohol-inspired Treats - Opportunity for creating non-alcoholic versions of popular alcoholic beverages to cater to consumers seeking alcohol-inspired treats without the side effects of consuming alcohol.
2. Sophisticated Candy - Chance to create high-end, sophisticated candies that mimic the flavors and colors of classic cocktails, offering a unique and indulgent experience.
3. Alcohol-free Alternatives - Potential for developing innovative alcohol-free alternatives that replicate the taste and essence of popular cocktail flavors in various forms, such as candies and gummies.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Food and beverage industry can explore the creation of alcohol-inspired candies and gummies to cater to the growing demand for non-alcoholic treats with unique flavors.
2. Confectionery - Opportunity for confectionery companies to develop sophisticated, cocktail-inspired candies and gummies that offer a playful and indulgent twist to traditional sweets.
3. Health and Wellness - In the health and wellness industry, there is potential for creating alcohol-free alternatives that provide a guilt-free indulgence for consumers seeking a healthier lifestyle but still crave flavors and experiences similar to cocktails.
