When mixing a [whiskey cocktail](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gold-rush-cocktail-mix), many people reach for a standard can of cola. However, these cola drinks are often loaded with an unhealthy dose of sugar and high-fructose corn syrup. Cola Maison offers a [naturally sweetened alternative](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jordans-skinny-mixes-soda-collection) to using store-bought cola in your cocktails. The flavored syrup is handmade in Quebec from natural ingredients and essential oils, for a naturally sweetened cola alternative. To use the syrup, simply fill a glass with three quarters of an ounce of Cola Maison, add two to three ounces of sparkling water and then finish off with one and a quarter ounces of your favorite spirit. One bottle of Cola Maison will yield up to 25 drinks, making it perfect for any party. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Natural Cocktail Syrups:** Opportunity to create more naturally sweetened alternatives to popular cocktail mixers. - **Flavored Syrups:** Potential for innovative flavor combinations in cocktail syrups to enhance beverage choices. - **Handmade Ingredients:** Demand for artisanal, natural ingredients in the mixology industry. ### Where This Applies - **Beverage Industry:** Opportunity for companies to develop and market premium cocktail syrups made from natural ingredients. - **Hospitality Industry:** Potential for bars and restaurants to offer unique and customizable cocktail experiences using flavored syrups. - **Artisan Food Industry:** Demand for small-batch, handmade ingredients in various culinary applications including mixology and beverages. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Maple Syrup-Flavored Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canadian-maple-syrup-soda.md) - [Non-Alcoholic Cola Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kola-fashioned.md) - [Cocktail Syrup Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-syrup-kits.md) - [Mixologist-Quality Cocktail Syrups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeky-cocktails-flavored-syrups.md) - [Naturally Sweetened Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naturally-sweetened-sodas.md) - [Golden Canned Shochu Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iyoshi-cola-sour.md) - [Premium Bar Syrups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeky-cocktails.md) - [Effortless Non-Alcoholic Mixers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sodastream-crafted-cocktail-mixers.md) - [Branded Cola Whiskey Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jack-daniels-cocacola.md)
