DIY Candy Cane Shooters

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Edible Peppermint Shot Glasses are Made Using Red and White Candies

— December 19, 2014 — Lifestyle
If you love your booze but wanted to drink in a way that was festive but more original than eggnog, these peppermint shot glasses are a great option.

From Cheri Albert at The Watering Mouth blog, the DIY Peppermint Shot Cups are made out of red and white mint candies rather than candy canes as they created a more uniform product. Of course, you can also use the small cups as a vessel for non-alcoholic liquids as well, meaning kids can drink from them once they've cooled. Cheri notes it is important the liquid you put in has to be the same temperature as the glass. So if you were thinking ice cold vodka, the shooter will need to be refrigerated first.
Trend Themes
1. DIY Edible Shot Glasses - Opportunity for disrupting traditional drinkware by creating edible shot glasses made from various candies or edible materials.
2. Festive Beverage Presentation - Innovation opportunity in presenting beverages in unique and festive ways, such as using themed shot glasses or drinkware.
3. Versatile Drink Containers - Creating multi-purpose drink containers that can serve both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages in an innovative and creative manner.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Disruptive innovation potential in the food and beverage industry by introducing new and creative ways to serve drinks.
2. Event and Party Planning - Opportunity to disrupt traditional event and party planning industries by offering unique and innovative drink presentation options.
3. Candy and Confectionery - Innovation potential in the candy and confectionery industry by exploring ways to create edible drinkware and unique candy-based products.
