# Fruity Booze Beverage Hybrids Joy the Baker's Hot Buttered Rum and Cider is Heterogeneous By Jordy E | Published 2012-12-29 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-buttered-rum References: [joythebaker](http://www.joythebaker.com/2012/12/hot-buttered-rum-and-cider) & [joythebaker](http://www.joythebaker.com) Joy the Baker's Hot Buttered Rum and Cider post merges an assortment of divergent flavors in a single pot. Joy begins the post on a humorous note, as do most of her blog entries. She points to how acceptable it often is to take in copious amounts of alcohol and butter during the holiday season by expressing just how okay she is with the fatty reality. Joy incorporates [spiced rum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/v-rum-v-spiced), cinnamon sticks, nutmeg and [apple cider](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pressed-juicerys-spiced-apple-cider) into the Hot Buttered beverage. Each ingredient was then brought to a simmer, allowing the rich additions to take on a certain thickness that makes this drink a hearty option for [festive parties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-holiday-menu). Dashes of lemon juice were used as a final touch, adding a bit of freshness to the creamy liquid. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mixed Flavor Beverages:** Opportunity for creating unique and unexpected flavor combinations in alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. - **Holiday-inspired Cocktails:** Innovative cocktails that incorporate traditional holiday flavors to enhance festive celebrations. - **Thick and Creamy Drinks:** Development of beverages with a rich and velvety texture for a more indulgent drinking experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Alcoholic Beverages:** Chance for distilleries and beverage companies to experiment with new flavors and create unique product offerings. - **Food and Beverage Catering:** Opportunities for caterers and event planners to offer creative and seasonal drink options for holiday parties. - **Recipe Development:** Development of innovative recipes and flavor profiles for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Seasonally Spiced Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiced-cider.md) - [Cake-Infused Bourbon Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clarified-cake-milk-punch.md) - [Beer-Cider Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-crisp-ale.md) - [Branded Holiday Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-cocktail.md) - [Bar-Quality Cocktail Mixers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cutwater-spirits-1.md) - [Warming Ginger Beer Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiced-rum-ginger-beer.md) - [Festive Instant Cocktail Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-cocktail-mix.md) - [Tropical Spiked Eggnogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cutwater-spirits-tiki-nog.md) - [Gingerbread-Flavored Rum Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-rum-punch.md)
