Cocktail trends come and go at high speed! Is the cocktail ice cream trend coming back? Should I be using steel straws this year?
Here we give you the seven newest cocktail trends for 2021.
1. Non-alcoholic cocktails
Expect a more extensive selection of non-alcoholic cocktails in 2021! This trend
came to pass in 2018. People are increasingly finding their health more important.
Think of the popular Dry January challenge! But non-alcoholic cocktails and beers
are also trendy outside. Do you still have to drive but still want something nice to
drink? Then take a mocktail! And nowadays, mocktails are no longer just soda
with grapefruit. According to Forbes’ cocktail trends research, mocktails are
becoming increasingly complex, with syrup and unique ingredients.
2. Climate-friendly
In addition to health, people also find the climate increasingly important. Plastic
is taboo, and papers and steel straws are in. Even drink your cocktail with a
bamboo straw!
The ingredients can also be climate-friendly. Think organic fruit and locally grown
ingredients. In addition, we must get rid of the waste culture. Those leftover fruit
skins are still very suitable for making homemade syrup!
3. Innovative ingredients
Use innovative ingredients and garnishes. A few ingredients that are guaranteed
to be popular in 2021: rose water and turmeric. But you will also often see savory
flavors such as bacon and cucumber. Also, think of sugar-free soft drinks in your
cocktail! A slightly healthier option. Cocktails with beer are a little less healthy, but
we will also see them often this year.
Edible flowers and leaves are still popular as a garnish. Combine the flowers with a
piece of cotton candy, and you have a fancy look! The wow factor of this even
makes you want to post the cocktail on Instagram. To add to that factor, it is
excellent if you use special items like “glasses.” Think of a cocktail served in a
chocolate Easter bunny or hollowed-out pineapple! Or experiment yourself in a
cocktail workshop.
4. Alcopops – Alcohol ice creams
They were very popular in the summer of 2018! And expect them to come back
this summer for sure. The tastiest alcohol ice creams! Think of Mojito ice creams
or Piña Colada ice cream. There are even gin and tonic ice creams. Do you want to
make popsicles with alcohol yourself? The only thing to keep in mind is that they
must have low alcohol content. Otherwise, they will not freeze. You’ve probably
already seen them at your local supermarket, but this will also be a hit in your
cocktail bar! Not in the mood for hassle? Buy some popsicles in beautiful colors
and place them in the cocktail! That gives a great effect. A frozen cocktail on
trend according to Kimpton Hotels: the Aperol Rosé!
5. Theme cocktails
Game of Thrones! Especially now that the last season is out, people are obsessed
with their beloved series. Respond to that and make use of the theme! Make real
Game of Thrones cocktails. Think of a White Walker, or The Red Woman. Use red
wine and grapefruit to make it a bit “bloody.” Or have a spooky Halloween party.
Rent a mobile cocktail bar that makes creepy cocktails and themed snacks for
you! In addition, the new Star Wars movie will be released in 2021. Nice to have a
viewing party for that, including the theme cocktails.
6. Mobile cocktail bar
A new trend in the cocktail world is the mobile cocktail bar. This is a trend that will
continue for years to come! People can rent a cocktail shaker on location for their
party. Cocktail catering was already popular, but nowadays, renting a mobile
cocktail bar is totally in! Use a cocktail as a nice welcome drink for your event.
Would you like to hire a cocktail bar for your party? Nowadays, you can!
7. Cocktail bar and food truck
Eating and drinking go hand in hand. Renting food trucks has entirely become
trending in recent years! That is why it is an excellent combination to hire a food
truck and cocktail bar in one. This way, you can enjoy cocktails without getting
hungry.
