When there are more than three ingredients in a craft cocktail, most people would rather be served a drink at a bar than attempt making their own. However, as more [ready-to-drink alcohol products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shakr-cocktails) pop up on the market, people are opting for pre-packaged items that help to bring home a mixologist in a bottle. With craft cocktails that are made with a mix of fruit and spirits, Belles Organics is a prime example of this.

The [pre-blended drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coppa-cocktails) are packaged in liter-sized TetraPaks, making it easy to bring home a sizeable amount of a craft cocktail. Because Belles Organics puts such an emphasis on ingredients that are high-quality and organic, the packaging helps to ensure that produce picked at its prime and cold-pressed reaches consumers at its freshest.
