As its name suggests, the 'Cuba Libre' candy gummy sweets from Sugar Sin take after a classic cocktail recipe made from a base of rum and cola. These candies take inspiration from these cocktail drink ingredients and boast the same brown caramel colors, but also an entirely alcohol-free formula. The candies take the shape of small rounds that bear a bold letter "S" for distinctive branding.
Sugar Sin also makes two types of wine-inspired gummies that also offer sophisticated, yet playful versions of alcoholic drinks.
In recent years, many consumers have been curbing their intake of alcohol, which has opened up a ton of possibilities in the market for alcohol-inspired creations to crop up, without the undesirable side effects of actually consuming an alcoholic beverage.
