# Mojito-Inspired Sodas El Fresco's Mojito Soda Beverage Bottles Take Inspiration from Mixology By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-08-12 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mojito-soda References: [packagingoftheworld](http://www.packagingoftheworld.com/2015/08/el-fresco-mojito.html) & [el-fresco.ru](http://el-fresco.ru/) In order to make El Fresco's non-alcoholic mojito soda products more recognizable as cocktail-inspired beverages, ASGARD Branding developed a fun new packaging system for the drinks. Rather than being contained in a traditional soda bottle, the shape of the packaging was slightly altered to look more like a cocktail shaker. Flavors include a Classic, Strawberry, Pomegranate and a Cola Mojito soda. The recent rebranding of the bottles also made the mojito mocktails available in aluminum cans, although these mixology-inspired bottles stand out that much more on shelves. The rise in non-alcoholic drinks that are inspired by alcohol-based beverages is becoming extremely popular across the globe, since these kinds of drinks offer great taste with none of the nasty repercussions of a long night of drinking. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Non-alcoholic Cocktail-inspired Drinks:** There is a rising trend of non-alcoholic beverages that take inspiration from alcohol-based cocktails, providing great taste without the negative effects of alcohol consumption. - **Cocktail-inspired Packaging:** Brands are developing unique packaging designs for non-alcoholic cocktail-inspired drinks, such as El Fresco's mojito soda bottles that resemble cocktail shakers, creating a visually compelling product presentation. - **Expansion of Flavored Soda Options:** Companies are expanding their soda flavor offerings to include mojito-inspired options, like Classic, Strawberry, Pomegranate, and Cola Mojito, providing consumers with more diverse and exciting beverage choices. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beverage Packaging:** The beverage packaging industry can capitalize on the trend of unique packaging designs for cocktail-inspired drinks, offering innovative and eye-catching solutions that enhance brand recognition and product appeal. - **Non-alcoholic Beverage Manufacturing:** With the growing demand for non-alcoholic cocktail-inspired drinks, the non-alcoholic beverage manufacturing industry can explore new flavor combinations and formulations to create refreshing and delicious alternatives to traditional alcoholic cocktails. - **Flavored Soda Production:** The flavored soda production industry has the opportunity to expand their product lines by introducing mojito-inspired soda options, offering consumers unique and refreshing beverage choices in the carbonated soft drink market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Alcohol-Free Canned Mojitos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ish-mojito.md) - [Mocktail-Style Sparkling Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nojito.md) - [New RTD Cocktail Flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-shook-up.md) - [Effortless Non-Alcoholic Mixers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sodastream-crafted-cocktail-mixers.md) - [Soda-Branded Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresca-cocktail.md) - [Alcohol-Free Functional Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alcohol-free-functional-cocktail.md) - [Multi-Serve Non-Alcoholic Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonalcoholic-cocktails-by-ish.md) - [Paper Bottle Margarita Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-bottle-margarita.md) - [Non-Carbonated Booze-Free Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muddle-and-mint.md)
