You can drink alcoholic cider in a mug, or you can be more creative -- as well as playful -- and enjoy the boozy goodness in jello shot form. From Refinery29, the recipe looks impressive even if you don't have much in the way of kitchen skills.
Served in actual slices of apple, the alcoholic sider is a solidified version you can serve on a tray at an autumnally appropriate social gathering. This includes future fall festivities including Thanksgiving, Halloween or just a seasonal dinner party.
You will need apple slices, lemon wedges, unflavored gelatin (such as Knox brand envelopes), store-bought spiced cider (like the one from Trader Joe's), bourbon and hard apple cider (Woodchuck or Angry Orchard will do nicely).
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Solidified Alcoholic Beverages
- With the growing interest in non-traditional alcoholic presentations such as solidified and gummy, brands can innovate and explore in this space to stand out.
- Event-based Alcoholic Recipes
- As more people seek to entertain and celebrate in smaller groups, industry players can focus on creating unique, playful, and visually impressive alcoholic recipes that can make for an instagrammable moment for the guests.
- DIY Alcohol Mixology
- By creating accessible and inexpensive recipes for home consumption, brands can further tap into the DIY mixology trend among younger consumers and develop brand loyalty for future purchases.
Sectors Adopting This
- Alcoholic Beverages
- Brands within the alcoholic industry can explore unique and playful presentation methods to create memorable experiences and appeal to younger consumers looking for playful and creative options.
- Food and Beverage
- As the lines between traditional food and beverage tend to blur, the industry players can explore unique combinations and presentations to enhance the dining experience.
- Home Goods
- By creating specialized kitchenware and accessories that accompany specific recipe trends, brands can tap into the DIY lifestyle and enable consumers to try new recipes at home.
