The delicious drink may not pair very well with seafood but it is quite decadent on its very own. Since travelling to Hong Kong isn't a luxury everyone can afford, the recipe for this tasty drink has been posted on the A Pair and a Spare lifestyle blog. The ingredients are fairly simple to source and the recipe is also easy to follow. Using a shot of rum and [espresso liqueur](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-mate-cocktail-mate-mixers), it is clear this drink is for an adult audience. To accent the strong taste of liquor, this caramel espresso also features the sweet flavors of sugar syrup and a homemade salted caramel sauce. Inspired by a luxe cocktail, this budget-friendly drink recipe is simple to recreate at home and is a decadent beverage to serve at casual or formal gatherings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## 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 - **DIY Espresso Martinis:** Opportunity for companies to create cocktail kits for consumers to make gourmet espresso martinis at home. - **Salted Caramel Trend:** Opportunity for companies to create new products featuring the popular salted caramel flavor in food and beverage industries. - **Adults-only Flavors:** Opportunity for companies to create food and beverage products with unique and complex flavors catered exclusively to adult tastes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage Industries:** Opportunity for the industry to create new products that feature uncommon combinations of flavors to cater specifically to adult tastes. - **Cocktail Industry:** Opportunity for the cocktail industry to create more products that encourage consumers to make their own cocktails at home. - **Hospitality Industry:** Opportunity for hotels and restaurants to offer more DIY cocktail options on their menus for customers wanting to personalize their drinking experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Espresso Martini Infusion Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espresso-martini-gift-set.md) - [Parmesan Espresso Martinis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parmesan-espresso-martini.md) - [Espresso Martini Flights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espresso-martini-flight.md) - [Decadently Layered Espresso Martinis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiramisu-espresso-martini.md) - [Premium Espresso Martini Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cafe-solo-espresso-martini.md) - [Dubai Chocolate-Style Espresso Martinis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dubai-chocolate-style-espresso-martini.md) - [Canned Holiday Espresso Martinis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loverboy.md) - [Canned Creamy Espresso Martinis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creamy-espresso-martini.md) - [Canned Espresso Martinis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canned-espresso-martini.md)
