Spicy Mixed Drinks

Editor Laura McQuarrie Counts Down Her Favorite Spicy Hot Drink Recipes

— November 21, 2014 — TH Video
As if alcohol didn't already have enough of a kick, increasingly people are leaning towards spicy hot drink recipes. Trend Hunter's Laura McQuarrie discusses her top picks for spiced libation. From boozy wizard cocktails to spiced watermelon sangrias and piquante citrus cocktails, your mouth will be burning in more ways than one.

When you hear 'wizard,' your mind likely jumps to The Boy Who Lived (also known as Harry Potter), but this Pims-containing cocktail was in fact inspired by Neville Longbottom. Sriracha is a popular ingredient in spicy hot drink recipes, such as watermelon-based sangrias and hot sauce cocktails. However, the Ancho y Tamarindo mixed drink also relies on a spiced liqueur that incorporates Mexican chilies.
Trend Themes
1. Spicy Hot Drink Recipes - Exploring spicy hot drink recipes can lead to innovative and unique libations that provide an extra kick.
2. Sriracha in Cocktails - Incorporating Sriracha into cocktails opens up new possibilities for spicy flavor profiles and adds a unique twist to traditional mixes.
3. Spiced Liqueurs - The use of spiced liqueurs, such as those infused with Mexican chilies, offers a chance to create bold and dynamic mixed drinks that are truly memorable.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry can explore and capitalize on the growing demand for spicy hot drink recipes, creating new products and experiences for consumers.
2. Hospitality and Entertainment - The hospitality and entertainment industries can incorporate spicy hot drink recipes into their menus and offerings, providing unique and memorable experiences for their customers.
3. Alcoholic Beverages - The alcoholic beverages industry can embrace the trend of incorporating spicy ingredients, such as Sriracha and spiced liqueurs, into their product offerings, appealing to adventurous consumers seeking new and exciting flavors.
