As we approach the end of the first quarter of 2023, it’s interesting to take a look at some of the liquor trends that are emerging this year. Here are some of the most notable liquor trends of 2023:
Low-alcohol drinks
Health-conscious consumers are turning towards drinks with lower alcohol content, such as wine spritzers, shandies, and hard seltzers. These drinks are often refreshing and lighter in flavor, making them ideal for those who want to enjoy a drink without getting too intoxicated.
Innovative flavors
Consumers are always on the lookout for new and exciting flavors, and liquor brands are delivering. Expect to see a range of innovative flavors in liquor this year, from classic cocktails with a twist, to unusual fruits.
Hard kombucha
Kombucha has been growing in popularity as a healthy, fermented drink, and now it’s making its way into the liquor world. Hard kombucha is essentially kombucha that’s been spiked with alcohol, and it’s becoming a popular alternative to beer and wine.
Local distilleries
As consumers become more interested in locally-sourced products, local distilleries are gaining popularity. These distilleries often use locally-sourced ingredients and offer unique flavors and spirits that can’t be found anywhere else.
Non-alcoholic options
As more people embrace a sober lifestyle or choose to drink less, non-alcoholic options are becoming more popular. These drinks mimic the flavors and complexity of alcoholic drinks, without the alcohol.
Overall, 2023 is shaping up to be an exciting year for liquor, with new and innovative flavors, products, and experiences on the horizon. Whether you’re a seasoned cocktail connoisseur or just looking to try something new, there’s something for everyone in the world of liquor this year.
