The latest cocktail trends according to Ivy Mix from Leyenda
In a recent interview, Ivy Mix of Leyenda in Brooklyn shared her thoughts on cocktail trends in the U.S.
She notes a growing popularity of beer-based cocktails, as well as an increasing demand for spicy or hot flavors.
Furthermore, Ivy Mix observes that the trend toward moderation isn’t slowing down, with consumers ordering low-alcohol versions (aka low-ABV) or alternating between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks throughout the evening.
Another noteworthy trend is the use of homemade sodas in highballs.
