Hard Candy Cocktails

These Jolly Rancher Drinks Turn the Sweet into an Adult Beverage

— October 30, 2015 — Lifestyle
The Jolly Rancher candy cocktail is an ideal drink for nostalgic adults that still have a lurking sweet tooth for their favorite childhood candies. This homemade drink transforms the popular hard candy into a liquid tequila drink featuring the popular flavors.

The fruity drink features a tequila base topped with lemon and cranberry juice. Then melon liqueur is added a refreshing candied fruit taste. The cranberry juice and melon transform the drink into a pale pink shade that might remind drinkers of their favorite Jolly Rancher flavor. This is a great beverage for anyone that enjoys artificial fruit flavors prominent in sweets.

You could even float a piece or two of the hard candies in the cocktails for garnish and watch as the color from the sweet spreads into the drink.
Trend Themes
1. Hard Candy Cocktails - Opportunity for mixologists to create innovative cocktail recipes using nostalgic childhood candies, appealing to adults with a sweet tooth.
2. Jolly Rancher Flavors - Opportunity for candy companies to collaborate with beverage brands to create Jolly Rancher-inspired alcoholic drinks, tapping into the nostalgia trend.
3. Fruit-flavored Liqueurs - Opportunity for liquor companies to develop new fruit-infused spirits with innovative flavors, capitalizing on the demand for unique and enticing cocktail ingredients.
Industry Implications
1. Beverage - Beverage companies can explore collaborations with candy brands to create nostalgic-themed alcoholic drinks, targeting adult consumers seeking unconventional flavors.
2. Candy - Candy manufacturers can expand their product range by partnering with liquor brands to create alcoholic beverages that incorporate their signature sweet flavors, providing a unique and playful drinking experience.
3. Liquor - Liquor producers can experiment with fruit-infused liqueurs to enhance mixology options and attract customers looking for creative cocktail ingredients and flavor profiles.
