The standout cocktail creation boasts a creamy, all-white base—thanks to the addition of both coconut milk and cream—as well as a blue-tinted top layer due to the addition of the butterfly pea flower. The blue butterfly pea flower has been used around the world as a dye, as well as a potent ingredient for its medicinal properties. The ingredient is becoming a popular one at the moment, thanks to its [color-changing properties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platypus-punch-cocktail), which are activated by disrupted pH levels. The Bluefields Swizzle features a layer of the concentrated butterfly pea flower tea on top for an intense hit of color. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Color-changing Drinks:** There is an opportunity for bars and restaurants to create unique and visually appealing drinks using ingredients that change color. - **Utilizing Natural Dyes:** Industries like food and beverage can explore the use of natural dyes like butterfly pea flower to enhance the appearance of their products. - **Medicinal Ingredients in Cocktails:** Mixologists can experiment with incorporating medicinal ingredients like butterfly pea flower into cocktails to add unique flavors and potential health benefits. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can explore the use of natural dyes and innovative ingredients to create visually appealing and unique products. - **Hospitality:** Hotels, bars, and restaurants can attract customers by offering color-changing drinks that provide an experiential element to their dining experiences. - **Natural Remedies and Wellness:** The wellness industry can explore the use of medicinal ingredients in cocktails as a way to offer customers unique health-focused beverage options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Naturally Blue Absinthe Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/absinthia-absinthe-bleue.md) - [Ube-Coconut Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/konas-street-market.md) - [Color-Changing Drink Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blure.md) - [All-Natural Color-Changing Spirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unicorn-distillery.md) - [Butterfly Pea Flower Powders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butterfly-pea-flower-powder.md) - [Moody Blue-Hued Tea Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bigelow-butterfly-pea-flower.md) - [Botanical Violet-Hued Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butterfly-lavender-vodka.md) - [Scotch Whisky Coladas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scotch-whisky-colada.md) - [Color-Changing 90s Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radical-rita.md)
