[Gold Fashioned cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-gold-cocktail) are spritzed with atomizer zest made from Valencia, navel, and blood oranges. As part of its inaugural blend, the new 2022 Blend utilizes a split-base blend of three whiskeys: a [15-year Kentucky Straight Bourbon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-whiskey-society1), a 9-year Kentucky Straight Bourbon, and a 6-year Indiana Straight Rye, giving it the perfect balance of richness, spice, and character. A unique mix of Sunday's Finest Saffron Bitters (made in-house) and natural raw Fair-Trade Demerara from Malawi completes the [whiskey-tasting experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gold-rush-cocktail-mix). As for the bitters blend's flavor, hand-harvested Afghan saffron, wild-harvested French gentian root, and Seville orange peel provide floral and bitter citrus notes balanced by single-estate Ecuadorian cacao and grade A Tahitian vanilla, which provide warmth and spice. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 13% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **$150 RTD Cocktails:** Mixology-grade RTD cocktails packaged in an elegant presentation can command premium pricing, creating opportunities for the luxury beverage industry. - **In-house, Hand-crafted Ingredients:** Consumers are interested in artisanal and locally-made food and drinks that boost health and wellness, prompting the ingredients industry to innovate more accessible supply chains. - **DIY Mixology Kits:** The increased demand for premium drinks and mixology-themed activities highlights an opportunity for companies to create DIY Mixology kits for an at-home, premium drinking experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Beverages:** The growing interest in premium, pre-mixed cocktails presents opportunities for companies to create high-quality drinks packaged in an elegant presentation. - **Artisanal Ingredients:** The trend towards in-house, hand-crafted ingredients highlights opportunities for companies to increase the accessibility and availability of artisanal ingredients, while catering to the consumer demand for unique, locally-sourced products. - **At-home Mixology:** Companies offering DIY Mixology kits that enable consumers to create premium cocktails at home are set to meet the rising demand for at-home premium drinking experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [$1000 Bourbon Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worlds-most-expensive-bloody-mary.md) - [Luxury Whiskey Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-whiskey-cocktail.md) - [Extravagant Luxury Bourbons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-bourbon.md) - [Diamond-Encrusted Martini Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marrow-martini.md) - [Accessible Luxury American Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-macklowe-kentucky-gold-edition.md) - [Premium High-Proof Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-rule-spirits-cocktails.md) - [Opulent Scotch Whiskies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glenfiddich-1.md) - [Anniversary-Celebrating American Whiskeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-whiskey1.md) - [Ultra-Rare Whiskey Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dekant-acclaim-collection.md)
