Smokey Smoothie Cocktails

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Boozy Blended Peach Drink Features Notes of Honey and Whiskey

— August 21, 2015 — Lifestyle
Not all smoothies have to be enjoyed in the morning, as proved by this delicious boozy blended peach drink by Epicurious. This refreshing cocktail cleverly repurposes a smoothie by turning it into a fun, fruity and alcoholic beverage that can be enjoyed at any time.

The drink is made with a combination of frozen peaches, ice, lemon juice, lime juice and honey. Whiskey and cardamon are added to give a smokey taste to the drink that is both aromatic and unexpected. Once everything is blended in a high-speed blender it can be served as is or over ice. The combination of the peach and whiskey is unexpected, but they complement each other well as both aromas are contrasting and deep in flavor.
Trend Themes
1. Alcohol-infused Smoothies - Combining the nutrition of smoothies with the fun of cocktails creates new opportunities to offer unique drinks.
2. Savory Flavors in Sweet Drinks - Incorporating unexpected flavors like whiskey into traditionally sweet drinks is a trend that can add a touch of sophistication to menus.
3. DIY Cocktail Kits - Providing customers with pre-measured ingredients and instructions to make drinks at home offers a fun and convenient way to enjoy cocktails outside of bars.
Industry Implications
1. Hospitality - Bars and restaurants can create unique and exciting menus that cater to a wider variety of tastes and preferences.
2. Health and Wellness - With the focus on nutritious smoothies, there is room to incorporate alcohol into something that is traditionally seen as healthy.
3. E-commerce - Providing pre-packaged DIY cocktail kits could appeal to consumers seeking a convenient and unique way to enjoy cocktails outside of bars.
