As we’ve discussed in the past, cocktails are ever evolving and as we approach the new year, there are several new trends that have popped up. We can’t exactly predict what exactly 2020 will bring, but we can speculate about some things that are becoming popular as we move into the new year. Here are some trends coming your way for 2020:
Shake up the Ice
People are taking notice that certain ice forms should be used for specific drinks. Dilution matters for a great drink and the type of ice cube you use can make or break your drink. Check out some of our old blog posts to see what ice shapes to use for certain drinks.
Simplicity
The age old saying that simple is better does apply in some situations. Cocktails have grown to be complex, but sometimes, just because you're keeping a cocktail simple doesn’t mean you're taking away from how delicious it is. This will save you money and increase your preparation speed!
More Gin
More gin-based drinks are coming! Gin has become very popular in cocktails and bartenders are using it more because they are working with more and more farmers and using plant-based garnishes and sides that pair well with gin.
2020 is going to be a year full of change for cocktails not only in flavor and taste, but in the amount of time it takes to prepare a cocktail and the ingredients used. We look forward to seeing these trends in 2020!
