# Pizza-Infused Cocktails The Pizza Cocktail is In Commemoration of October/Pizza Month By Thomas Wade-West | Published 2013-10-15 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-month References: [slice.seriouseats](http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2013/10/pizza-weirdness-pizza-cocktial.html) Most people have decided to celebrate Pizza Month (October) by eating copious amounts of pizza. The fine folks over at Trattoria Neapolis decided to take pizza in a less traditional direction by offering a Pizza Cocktail. The cocktail is exactly what you would expect and is certainly unique. The cocktail features a tomato water, basil-infused vodka, ghost-pepper infused vodka, porcini powder, muddle basil and a topping of Parmesan and mozzarella foam. The actual cocktail is not only unique but "scarily accurate" according to some tasters. The cocktail is made from a bistro in Pasadena which prides itself on authenticity and accurate tastes. The cocktail is also served amongst other more standard choices on their menu. It's not too late to celebrate this month with a massive pizza or your very own pizza cocktail. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Food-inspired Drinks:** The trend of creating cocktails inspired by food can be seen as an opportunity for bars and restaurants to offer unique experiences to customers. - **Savory Cocktails:** The rise of savory cocktails presents an opportunity for beverage companies to create innovative blends using unique ingredients, like Trattoria Neapolis' basil-infused and ghost-pepper infused vodka. - **Month-long Celebrations:** Opportunities exist for retailers and businesses to take advantage of month-long celebrations, like Pizza Month, to offer unique promotional deals and experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Bar and Restaurant:** Bars and restaurants can offer unique experiences to their customers by creating food-inspired and savory cocktails, like Trattoria Neapolis' Pizza Cocktail. - **Beverage:** Beverage companies can take advantage of the trend of savory cocktails by experimenting with unique ingredients and blends to create innovative products. - **Retail:** Retailers can offer unique promotional deals and experiences during month-long celebrations, like Pizza Month, to attract customers and boost sales. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Indulgent Pizza Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tomatini-cocktail.md) - [Pizza Bagel Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloody-mary-with-a-twist.md) - [Savory Tomato Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/papa-johns-tomatini.md) - [Savory Pizza Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cold-pizza-cocktail.md) - [Pizza-Themed Cocktail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepperoni-bloody-mary.md) - [Martini-Inspired Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-martini-pizza.md) - [Italian-Style Savory Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cacio-e-pepe-martini.md) - [Celebratory Artisanal Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/california-pizza-kitchen-national-pizza-month.md) - [Spicy Chili Oil Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crackjack-pizza.md)
