Cocktail Trends: Sending Alcohol Gifts in Style

It was a random Saturday night at a cocktail bar when I tasted a curious concoction named Jalapeno Mango Margarita. The menu described it as “a mouthful of bite.” In retrospect, I should have paid more attention to that part. However, despite the spicey tingling, my palette hosted a disco of flavors I had not yet experienced in a cocktail—-or any drink for that matter. And, with every sip, the dance between sweet and spicey found a rhythm that made it impossible for me to deny that it was, indeed, a damn good drink! This experience eventually got me thinking about cocktail trends. After some research and one too many TikTok videos, my consensus is that it’s heading in a weird direction – and I like it! Read below as I share cocktail trends that are taking over 2024. And, how you can send a cocktail experience to your friends and family with alcohol gifts from Drinkable Gifts!
