The cocktail from the female-owned and operated distillery is achieved using Freeland Gin along with Chehalem unbaked INOX Chardonnay along with lemon juice and soda. This gives the drink a [fresh, effervescent profile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funkin-spritz) that maintains an unexpected flavor with a 15.5% ABV. [Freeland Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cherry-blossom-liqueur) Founder Jill Kuehler spoke on the new Freeland French 75 canned cocktail saying, "With people looking for fun and easy ways to socialize over cocktails, high-quality ready-made cocktails in cans have a fresh new appeal. We had fun creating our French 75 with our friends at Chehalem Winery. Winemakers Katie Santora and Melissa Burr helped us create a delicious and fizzy cocktail using our own Freeland craft gin and Chehalem’s delicious Chardonnay.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Wine Cocktails:** The combination of wine and spirits creates an unexpected and refreshing flavor profile for consumers. - **Canned Cocktails:** The ready-made cocktail trend continues to grow as people look for fun and easy ways to socialize over drinks. - **Collaborations:** More businesses are partnering with other brands to create unique and innovative food and beverage offerings. ### Where This Applies - **Craft Distilleries:** Craft distilleries are innovating ready-to-drink cocktails with new and unexpected flavor combinations. - **Wine Industry:** Wineries are exploring new markets and audiences through collaborations with distilleries and ready-to-drink cocktail brands. - **Food and Beverage Industry:** The food and beverage industry is evolving with new collaborations, ready-to-drink offerings and innovative flavor profiles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Juicy Wine Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drop-needle-drinks.md) - [Crafty Canned Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafty-canned-cocktail.md) - [Freshly Squeezed Fruit Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craftwell-cocktails.md) - [Cocktail-Inspired Wine Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-cocktail-collection.md) - [Fruit-Forward Sparkling Aperitifs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rose-city-fizz.md) - [Cherry Blossom Liqueurs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cherry-blossom-liqueur.md) - [Wine-Inspired Gin Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-gin-13.md) - [Botanical-Infused Wine Spritzers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botanical-wine-spritzer.md) - [Magenta-Hued Canned Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magentahued-canned-cocktails.md)
