The 50% ABV moonshine is packed into 750ml jars, offering a vibrant and tangy new flavor to help fans appreciate the company's award-winning moonshine and introduce newcomers to the product. For a variety of reasons, consumers are drawn to moonshine: artisanal craftsmanship, unique flavors like this one and its storied qualities that take a page from the past and American distilling traditions. To celebrate the addition of Orange Squeeze Moonshine to its portfolio, Sugarlands is partnering with the platinum recording artists of O.A.R., a collaborator on previously released products like the Jammin' Peachcanned moonshine cocktail and a special edition of the award-winning Roaming Man Tennessee Straight Rye Whiskey. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 26% - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Nostalgic-flavored Beverages:** Orange Squeeze Moonshine's evocation of classic citrus soda taps into consumers' love for nostalgia-themed products. - **Collaborative Alcoholic Drinks:** Sugarlands' partnership with platinum artists O.A.R. highlights the growing popularity of celebrity-endorsed and collaborative spirit releases. - **Artisanal Moonshines:** The unique flavor profiles and artisanal craftsmanship of products like Orange Squeeze Moonshine are attracting connoisseurs and new enthusiasts alike. ### Where This Applies - **Craft Distilleries:** Sugarlands Distilling Company exemplifies how artisanal moonshine production can create differentiated offerings in the crowded spirits market. - **Alcoholic Beverage Retail:** Retailers can leverage unique moonshine flavors such as Orange Squeeze to cater to consumers seeking bespoke and nostalgic alcoholic beverages. - **Music and Entertainment:** Collaborations between distilling brands and music artists, like the one with O.A.R., illustrate how entertainment can enhance product appeal and market reach. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creamsicle-Flavored Moonshines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orange-shinesicle-cream-moonshine.md) - [Spiked Citrus Fruits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonshine-mandarins.md) - [Moonshine-Inspired Hard Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonshine-lemonades.md) - [Sour Moonshines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ole-smoky.md) - [Co-Branded Fruity Moonshines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cherry-limeade-moonshine.md) - [Miniature Moonshine Jars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonshine-jar.md) - [Canned Moonshine Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonshine-cocktails.md) - [Citrusy Cocktail-Inspired Libations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craft-canned-cocktail.md) - [Moonshine Party Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midnight-moon-party-in-a-box.md)
