The 'Latitude Zero' is a [pink horchata beverage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raw-organic-coconut-water) that gets its distinctive coloring from red prickly pear juice, which is combined with traditional horchata ingredients like rice milk and cinnamon. Rather than focusing solely on flavor, many cafes and eateries are releasing food and beverage products that are first and foremost [aesthetically pleasing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-hot-margarita). In addition to putting a fun twist on authentic horchata drinks, Latitude Zero captures the interests of many consumers who are looking for a creatively reinvented classic with its bright Millennial pink color. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Natural Food and Beverage Colors:** Create eye-catching products by using natural colors instead of artificial additives. - **Aesthetic-first Products:** Offer food and beverage products that prioritize visual appeal alongside taste. - **Creative Reinvention of Classics:** Find innovative ways to transform traditional dishes and beverages to capture consumer interest. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Cafes and Eateries:** Cafes and eateries can capitalize on the trend by introducing visually appealing food and beverage products. - **Natural Food Coloring Suppliers:** Suppliers of natural food coloring can seize the opportunity to market their products as a healthier alternative to artificial additives. - **Alcoholic Beverage Industry:** Alcoholic beverage companies can explore incorporating natural food colors to create visually striking cocktails and mixed drinks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Festive Horchata Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horchata-smoothies.md) - [Blue Horchata Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-horchata-smoothie.md) - [Plant-Based Horchata Blends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-horchata.md) - [Globally-Inspired Nut Milk Blends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horchata-azul.md) - [Pink Matcha Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-matcha-beverages.md) - [Pumpkin Spice Horchata Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spice-horchata.md) - [Pineapple-Flavored Horchata Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aguas-frescas-pineapple-horchata.md) - [Dairy-Free Horchata Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chobani-oat-horchata.md) - [Swirled Horchata Caramel Sippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horchata-caramel-sip.md)
