The burger is also served with a shot held in place on the top bun, for added decadency. Bourbon and beef are often paired together, as the two provide a complementary flavor profile. However, the Bourbon Bagel takes this pairing to the next level by infusing the beef patty and every other element of the burger with bourbon. This includes an Angus beef patty topped with cheese, bourbon bacon, bourbon barbecue sauce and spicy jalapeños. The dish is then topped with a sesame bun with a hollowed-out centre for a shot of bourbon to fit into. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Alcohol-infused Dishes:** There is an opportunity for food and beverage companies to capitalize on the trend of infusing alcohol in food dishes like burgers, bagels, etc. - **Experiential Dining:** Restaurants can create an immersive dining experience by serving dishes like the Bourbon Bagel, which comes with a shot of bourbon, and enhance the customer’s experience. - **Unconventional Pairings:** The Bourbon Bagel showcases the possibility of an unconventional pairing of alcohol and burgers which can inspire new food and beverage pairings to cater to adventurous palates. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can create new and unique dishes by integrating the trend of alcohol-infused food. - **Restaurant:** Restaurants can attract an audience looking for an exclusive dining experience with a menu that presents experiential or unconventional pairings like Bourbon Bagel. - **Alcohol Brands:** Alcohol brands can leverage the trend of alcohol-infused dishes to promote their products and create experiential marketing campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sandwich-Inspired Savory Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ny-bodega-sour.md) - [Festive Bagel Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vital-farms.md) - [Father’s Day Bourbon Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fathers-day-burger.md) - [Bacon-Infused Milkshakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-bacon-bash-meal.md) - [Boozy Maple BBQ Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maple-whisky-bbq-king.md) - [Smokey QSR Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bourbon-bacon-cheddar.md) - [Whisky-Infused Fast Food Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whisky-river-backyard-bbq.md) - [Pizza Bagel Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloody-mary-with-a-twist.md) - [Pork Roll Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/011-pec-on-everything.md)
