# Frothy Yogurt Cocktails This Pearls Before Swine Drink Gets its Frothy Texture From Greek Yogurt By M | Published 2014-07-04 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pearls-before-swine References: [food52](http://food52.com/blog/10737-joaquin-simo-s-pearls-before-swine-a-yogurt-cocktail) & [food52](http://food52.com/) This Pearls Before Swine cocktail created by Joaquín Simó has a foamy texture that was achieved without the use of heavy egg whites or cream. Instead this boozy drink is infused with Greek yogurt to create a light, airy and refreshing summer drink. Most people expect to see yogurt on their breakfast table rather than in their cocktails. Simó cleverly subverts this expectation by creating a delicious gin, rose water, shaved ice and lemon juice alcoholic drink that is infused with the tart taste of yogurt. Yogurt is a great way to add a foamy layer to any of your favorite drinks without adding unnecessary sugars or any raw foods. Mix the ingredients up in a cocktail shaker and double strain them into a glass to get that deliciously frothy texture. Or you pour the ingredients over shaved ice for a smoothie-like drink. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 60% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Yogurt-infused Cocktails:** The use of yogurt in cocktails adds a unique and refreshing twist, creating a frothy texture without heavy ingredients like eggs or cream. - **Alternative Foaming Agents:** Exploring alternative ingredients for creating a foamy layer in cocktails, such as yogurt, presents opportunities for innovation in mixology. - **Health-conscious Cocktails:** Incorporating yogurt in cocktails allows for the creation of healthier, low-sugar options that still provide a satisfyingly frothy texture. ### Where This Applies - **Cocktail Mixology:** The cocktail mixology industry can explore the use of yogurt as a foaming agent to create new and innovative drink recipes. - **Dairy Industry:** The dairy industry can capitalize on the trend of using yogurt in cocktails by promoting its versatility and unique applications beyond breakfast. - **Beverage Packaging:** As the demand for yogurt-infused cocktails grows, the beverage packaging industry can create specialized packaging solutions to accommodate these unique drinks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [RTD Yogurt Soju Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yogurt-soju-cocktail.md) - [Sandwich-Inspired Savory Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ny-bodega-sour.md) - [Savory Culinary Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-schmucks.md) - [Liqueur-Inspired Frozen Yogurts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limoncello-frozen-yogurt.md) - [Whipped Fruit Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/margarita-whips.md) - [Milky Curry Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creamy-milk-punch-cocktail.md) - [Milk Punch Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gettin-milky-with-nu.md) - [Stretchy Yogurt Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stretchy-yogurt.md) - [Food-Inspired Cocktail Concept Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eat-your-cocktail.md)
