A dinner at Aspen, Colorado's most exclusive Japanese restaurant, [Matsuhisa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erewhon-1), inspired the founders of Gardenista to create a [ready-to-drink version](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/readytodrink-classic-cocktails) of the green [Gardener](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-gardeners-gift-set) cocktail sipped by patrons. The team behind Gardenista bottled high-quality spirits with garden-fresh flavors of herbs and ginger, fresh lime juice, and organic cane sugar, plus a hint of heat from jalapeños. Gardenista is available in three varieties: Vodka with a smooth, crisp finish; Tequila with the zesty brightness of lime; and Bourbon with warm undertones and a tangy twist. This versatile bottled cocktail can be shaken, poured or spritzed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 29% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Premium Bottled Cocktails:** The rise of high-quality, ready-to-serve cocktails caters to consumers seeking convenience without compromising on sophistication and flavor complexity. - **Spicy Drink Infusions:** The incorporation of spicy ingredients like jalapeños into beverages is enhancing traditional flavors, creating a bold new category in the cocktail market. - **Garden-fresh Mixology:** Using fresh herbs and organic ingredients in cocktails reflects a growing trend towards healthier, more natural beverage options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Alcoholic Beverages:** The alcoholic beverages industry is experiencing a shift towards premium, artisanal options that appeal to discerning palates. - **Ready-to-drink Market:** Ready-to-drink cocktails are rapidly growing in popularity as they offer convenience and high-quality taste in a pre-packaged format. - **Natural Ingredients:** The demand for drinks made with natural, organic ingredients is pushing industries to rethink traditional recipes and sourcing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cold-Pressed Juice Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/margaret-cocktails.md) - [Botanical Vodka Seltzers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-botanical.md) - [Herb Mixology Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-party-mixology-gift-set.md) - [Canned Sparkling Craft Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkling-craft-cocktails1.md) - [Spring-Ready RTD Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greenbar-distillery.md) - [Bottled Signature Martinis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-martini.md) - [Botanical-Infused RTD Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ketel-one-botanical-vodka.md) - [Floral Liqueur RTD Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardinal-spirits.md) - [Garden-Sourced Botanical Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revivalist-garden-gin.md)
