While gin lovers appreciate the classic Gin Martini made with Beefeater, vermouth and olives or pickled onions, Three Piece Suit is another martini on the menu described as “[savory, oxidized and nutty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gilda-martini),” thanks to Botanist, Dolin Blanc and La Cigarrera Manzanilla sherry. Also on the menu are herbaceous, savory, sweet and velvety martinis for every palate’s preference. Consumers are seeking more approachable drinking experiences, leading to even alcohol-heavy cocktails like martinis being served in [smaller, sippable formats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oblix-happy-hour) that allow for leisurely enjoyment and exploration of different flavors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 25% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Micro-serving Cocktails:** This trend caters to consumers looking for more manageable, lighter drinking experiences without compromising variety. - **Sessionable Alcohol Options:** Customer preference is shifting toward beverages that allow for extended socializing without the quick onset of intoxication. - **Customized Cocktail Experiences:** Consumers are interested in tailored drinking experiences that cater to diverse flavor preferences and palates. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** The demand for customizable, smaller format drinks is opening up new avenues for inventive cocktail creations in restaurants and bars. - **Hospitality:** Hotels and resorts can capitalize on the trend by offering patrons smaller, more refined drink options for an elevated guest experience. - **Alcohol Manufacturing:** Producers can explore new product lines of pre-packaged, small-format alcoholic beverages to meet changing consumer tastes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Snackable Martini Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teeny-tini.md) - [Miniature Martini Pairings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smaller-martinis.md) - [Mini Martini Flights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minitinis.md) - [Canned Umami Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-martini.md) - [Dirty Martini Spritzes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-martini-spritz.md) - [Convenience-Focused Mini Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-bottles.md) - [Single-Serve Gin Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gin-martini.md) - [Oceanic Gin Martinis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aphotic-martini.md) - [Luxe Shareable Martinis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cygnet-77-martini-duet.md)
