Launched ahead of World Cocktail Day, there are three new bar-quality cocktails based on classic serves: the Passionfruit Martini and the Amaretto Sour, both of which come in at 8% ABV, and an [Espresso Martini at 10% ABV](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canned-espresso-martini). Created to appeal to young adult drinkers looking for low-effort, high-quality options, these single-serve cans differentiate themselves from the company's [bottled ready-to-drink range](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coppa-cocktails), which primarily suits sharing at home. “We are seeing a strong consumer shift towards convenience, quality consistency, and portion control," said Remco de Feijter, global brand manager of De Kuyper. "By bringing our expertise into the single-serve category, we are ensuring that consumers do not have to compromise on taste when enjoying a cocktail on the go—delivering a top-shelf experience directly from the can.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 71% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## 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 - **Single-serve Premium RTD Cocktails:** A rise in canned, bar-quality ready-to-drink cocktails is enabling premium mixology experiences in portable formats that replicate classic serves. - **Portable Premiumization:** Consumers are favoring on-the-go products that deliver upscale taste and presentation, signaling demand for luxury experiences outside traditional venues. - **Portion-controlled Alcohol Consumption:** Smaller, standardized serving sizes are meeting consumer desires for moderating intake while maintaining a consistent, high-quality drinking experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Spirits and Alcohol Brands:** Brands with cocktail heritage are positioned to extend into single-serve canned formats that preserve signature recipes and brand authenticity. - **Packaging and Canning Solutions:** Innovations in can technology and preservative systems are enabling delicate flavor retention and shelf stability for complex mixed beverages. - **Hospitality and on Premise Retail:** Bars, festivals, and convenience retailers are confronting shifts in consumer purchasing toward ready-to-drink single serves that change on-site service dynamics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Edible Cocktail Shots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-shots1.md) - [Summer-Ready RTD Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/absolut-ocean-spray-variety.md) - [Convenient Canned Classic Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gibsons-london-dry-gin-tonic.md) - [Limited-Edition Aniseed Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ricard.md) - [Ready-To-Drink Mimosa Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/readytodrink-mimosas.md) - [Low-Alcohol Canned Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edinburgh-gin-raspberry-collins.md) - [South Asian Canned Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junglee-cocktails.md) - [On-Tap Gin Brand Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nicholson-gin-premixed-cocktails.md) - [RTD Kenyan Gin Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/58-gin-tonic.md)
