At the 2023 Summer Fancy Food Show, Bluestem Botanicals will be showing off a collection of its curated cocktail and mocktail kits that fuse the farm-to-table movement with cocktail culture.
The 0% ABV Cocktail Kit 'No Thyme for the Blues' pairs Thyme Simply Syrup with Alcohol-Free Ginger Extract and a Rosemary Atomizer to create a vibrantly colored non-alcoholic drink that's complemented by blueberry juice and lime juice.
Bluestem Botanicals' Drink Your Garden campaign bridges the gap between done-for-you mixers and DIY options that require a lot of time and uncommon ingredients, allowing consumers to create farm-fresh sips effortlessly. These kits resonate with consumers who have a strong inclination towards drinks that feature fresh and herbaceous ingredients, driven by their desire for vibrant flavors, a sense of connection with nature and a preference for drinks that evoke a refreshing and revitalizing experience.
