The Frozen Blood Orange Negroni is a adult-appropriate slushy that offers the refreshing taste of orange and blood orange juice complemented with gin and vermouth. The beverage begins by preparing the fixings for a Negroni in a blender. Staple ingredients such as gin, sweet Campari, vermouth are added along with orange juice and blood orange juice to cut the tart and bitterness of the alcohol. A cup and a half of ice is added as well so that the the texture of the drink is covered into a frozen slushy that stays cool for hours on end without diluting. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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's Driving This Trend - **Blended Cocktails:** Innovation opportunity for bars and restaurants to introduce specialty blended cocktails during the summer season. - **Citrus-infused Cocktails:** Opportunity to experiment with different citrus fruit flavors to create unique cocktails that are appealing to the summer palate. - **Adult Slushies:** A possible trend in the future of beverage industry could be developing a new array of slushy cocktails for an older demographic. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** Restaurants and bars can incorporate blended cocktails as part of seasonal menus to cater to summertime customers. - **Alcohol:** Alcohol companies can incorporate citrus-infused flavors to create unique cocktails and attract consumers looking for refreshing summer drinks. - **Appliances:** Innovative appliance companies can create new types of slushy makers targeted towards adults for the creation of specialty frozen cocktails. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elevated Negroni Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevated-negroni-cocktails.md) - [Campari Negroni Sbagliato Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campari-negroni-sbagliato-kit.md) - [Mandarin Negroni Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heston-blumenthal.md) - [Negroni Cocktail Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/negroni-bar-by-campari.md) - [Approachable Non-Alcoholic Aperitifs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-spritz-blood-orange.md) - [Bittersweet Christmas Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-pudding-negroni.md) - [Socially-Charged Summer Aperitif Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasonal-cocktail.md) - [Bittersweet Citrus Mixers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bittermilk-no8.md) - [RTD Blood Orange Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blood-orange-cosmo.md)
