# Urban Gangster Cocktails The Glut Life Gives Readers Details on Making 'Trap Champagne' By Brandon Bastaldo | Published 2013-04-20 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alcoholinfused References: [theglutlife](http://www.theglutlife.com/done-right-trap-champagne/) Some of the best food and drink pairings in the world gain their notoriety by making unusual combinations of the highest and lowest qualities of ingredients, and this alcohol-infused gangster cocktail called 'Trap Champagne' is a great example of one of these unusual, but tasty mixtures. Concocted by a food blog called the Glut Life, this Trap Champagne cocktail combines bizarre ingredients in order to create a sinfully sweet alcohol-infused beverage. By mixing a 1/2 cup of water, sugar and 3/4 of cherry Kool-Aid with Dom Perignon, this gangster certified beverage creates an unexpected display of flavors that you would probably never taste together. The term Trap refers to the lifestyle of an urban gangster and is now commonly used as slang to describe all sorts of things. However, adding subtle but important touches to this alcohol-infused hood drink like dicing and rolling Kosher pickles as a final garnish makes this Trap Champagne far from trashy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Unconventional Mixing:** Opportunities for mixing unusual combinations of ingredients to create new alcohol-infused beverages. - **Slang-inspired Beverages:** Opportunities for creating new beverages inspired by street slang and urban lifestyles. - **Gourmet Mixology:** Opportunities for elevating hood drinks by using high-quality ingredients and adding gourmet touches. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Innovations in mixing techniques and recipe development to create new and unique alcoholic drinks. - **Lifestyle and Urban Culture:** Developing new products that align with urban lifestyle trends and street culture slang. - **Luxury and Hospitality:** Creating a new category of luxurious and gourmet cocktails that incorporate high-end ingredients and innovative flavor profiles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rapper-Backed RTD Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waka-flocka-flame.md) - [Rapper-Backed RTD Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snoop-dogg-2.md) - [Grape-Infused Vodka Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grapeinfused-vodka-cocktail.md) - [Savory Culinary Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-schmucks.md) - [Sophisticated Jello Shots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solid-wiggles.md) - [Poison-Inspired Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-alchemist.md) - [Color-Coded Gen Z Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toxin-cocktails.md) - [Collaborative Premium Cocktail Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-cocktails.md) - [Bar-Strength Gourmet Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gather-gourmet-cocktails.md)
