Pre-Mixed Cocktail Capsules

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Keurig KOLD Line Now Includes the Union St. Lounge Drink Pods

— November 18, 2015 — Lifestyle
With the Keurig KOLD collection now including capsule pops, the brand has further expanded into the alcoholic beverage industry with pre-mixed cocktail cups. The drinks feature popular beverage blends, such as mojitos and margaritas, allowing consumers to quickly transform themselves into at-home bartenders able to prepare drinks virtually instantaneously.

Keurig has teamed up with the company Rita & Tina's to produce the cocktail pods. The drinks are healthy and calorie conscious -- usually weighing in at 40-calories per drink before added alcohol. The pods contain perfectly portioned pre-mixed drink blends that take only water and then an added shot of alcohol.

The boozy capsules are an ideal solution for consumers that feel they lack in bartending skills or are looking to accommodate a large party with restaurant-quality beverages.

2. Healthy and Low-calorie Pre-mixed Cocktails - Disruptive innovation opportunity: There is potential for the creation of more healthy and low-calorie pre-mixed cocktail capsules, catering to health-conscious consumers looking for convenient options that align with their dietary preferences.
3.

Industry Implications
1. Beverage Packaging - Disruptive innovation opportunity: The development of specialized packaging and delivery systems for pre-mixed cocktail capsules can revolutionize the beverage packaging industry, introducing new designs and formats for easy and convenient consumption.
2. Alcoholic Beverage - Disruptive innovation opportunity: The introduction of pre-mixed cocktail capsules opens up new possibilities for innovation in the alcoholic beverage industry, allowing for experimentation with flavors, ingredients, and branding in a convenient and accessible format.
3. Home Appliance - Disruptive innovation opportunity: The expansion of pre-mixed cocktail capsules could drive advancements in home appliance technology, with the development of specialized machines or accessories for preparing and dispensing the capsules, enhancing the at-home bartending experience.
