This tailgating-inspired soda is artificially bourbon-flavored and it is said to have "sweet, savory, and woody notes with subtle hints of cherry, vanilla, chocolate and caramel." The 12-ounce cans are packaged into elegant burgundy-colored boxes, which make the sodas more spirit-like in their presentation. As a mindful drinking movement is fueling the creation and consumption of [non-alcoholic beers and spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kola-fashioned), brands are creating new beverages to satisfy consumers' thirsts no matter their drinking preferences. Knowing that fans like to create their own cocktails with Dr Pepper, the brand is offering a new soda that would work well as a mixer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 13% - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Non-alcoholic Flavored Beverages:** Opportunities for brands to create non-alcoholic versions of popular alcoholic beverages, catering to mindful drinkers and expanding into new markets. - **Tailgating-inspired Beverages:** Opportunities for brands to create tailgating-inspired beverages, playing into the nostalgia and excitement of traditional social gatherings for sports and events. - **Premium Packaging for Non-alcoholic Beverages:** Opportunities for brands to create sophisticated packaging for non-alcoholic beverages to elevate the product and make it more desirable to consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beverage Industry:** Brands in the beverage industry can utilize these trends to diversify their product offerings and attract mindful drinkers looking for non-alcoholic alternatives. - **Alcohol Industry:** Brands in the alcohol industry can create non-alcoholic versions of their popular beverages and expand into new markets, catering to a growing demand for mindful drinking. - **Packaging Industry:** Opportunities for packaging companies to create premium and sophisticated packaging for non-alcoholic beverages, to attract consumers and differentiate the products from competitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sweetly Tart Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-pepper-blackberry.md) - [Extensive Flavorful Soda Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flavor-offerings.md) - [Creamy Coconut-Flavored Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-pepper-creamy-coconut.md) - [Zero-Sugar Carbonated Soda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-pepper-1.md) - [Bourbon Barrel-Aged Seltzers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delicious-seltzer.md) - [Exclusive Spicy Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-pepper-hot-take.md) - [Spicy Cherry Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mr-pibb.md) - [Soda-Inspired Football Doughnuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-pepper-kickoff.md) - [Creamy Strawberry-Flavored Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-pepper-strawberries-cream.md)
