# Coconut Vanilla Bellinis This Holiday Beverage is Both Glamorous and Hydrating By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-12-23 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanilla-bellini References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/greatist/113?utm_medium=rss) & [threadsence](http://threadsence.com/Blog/coconut-vanilla-bellinis-by-jessica-of-how-sweet-eats/) They say the trick to staying hydrated while drinking copious amounts of alcohol is chugging water in between your boozy beverages; however, this coconut vanilla bellini recipe is a delightful alternative to the water-cocktail-water routine this [holiday season](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-cocktail). The recipe, designed by Jessica, from the blog 'How Sweet It Is,' replaces the original bellini's peach puree with 16 ounces of coconut juice or pureed coconut nectar. With its high potassium and mineral content, coconut juice has been hailed as a "[natural energy drink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pia-colada-flavor)." Though these claims are not necessarily scientifically verified, the fruity liquid is definitely another way to get both flavor and hydration within your cocktail. To make things especially festive, you can include a rimmer made up of granulated sugar combined with vanilla bean. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Hydrating Cocktails:** Making cocktails with hydrating ingredients to appeal to health-conscious drinkers. - **Creative Rim Ideas:** Developing new and unique rim offerings to add flavor and visual appeal to cocktails. - **Coconut Juice:** Exploring the potential of coconut juice or pureed coconut nectar beyond the typical health drink market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beverage:** Creating innovative cocktail offerings for bars and restaurants to appeal to health-conscious drinkers. - **Food and Beverage:** Offering creative cocktail rim options for food and beverage companies to enhance their beverage lineups. - **Health and Energy Drinks:** Expanding the coconut juice market beyond its current health-conscious demographic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tropical Coconut Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pia-colada-with-pulp.md) - [Sparkling Coconut Water Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkling-coconut-water-cocktail.md) - [Indulgent Coconut Milk Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberries-cream1.md) - [Refreshing Coconut Water Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiked-sparkling-coconut-water.md) - [Fruity Coconut Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/100-coconuts.md) - [Canned Sparkling Water Mocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubly-bellini-bliss.md) - [Chocolate Coconut Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coconut-water-with-chocolate.md) - [Eco-Friendly Vodka Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bali-water.md) - [Premium Coconut Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coconut-cocktails.md)
