Fall is right around the corner and with that comes pumpkin pie, apple picking, and warm spice drinks. Here are some ideas for expanding your current product lines with the warm flavor tones consumers are looking for this time of year.
Create a new seasonal favorite by adding our Pumpkin Spice flavor to your autumn porters, stouts, or whiskey. Pumpkin Spice is a delicate blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and allspice. The ideal combination for flavoring pumpkin pies, and it is also a popular spice blend for breads, coffees, ice creams, and other fall favorites like a Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll. For cocktails, try a Pumpkin Spice Martini, Brandy Pumpkin Pie Milkshake, or a Pumpkin Old Fashioned. Pumpkin or Pumpkin spice can shine alone or be combined with a Cheesecake or Cream Cheese for a sweet and luscious treat your customers will savor.
Similar to pumpkin spice, Chai Spice includes cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves; however, chai also has ginger, cardamom, and touch of black pepper. This flavor profile is described as sweet, spicy, and creamy all at the same time and is a world-renowned favorite for a reason. Add it to teas and lattes, ice cream recipes, frostings, and baked goods. This would also be a favorite in any cream-based liquor, like a Chai Tea with Bourbon, Chai White Russian, Rum Masala Chai, or a Chai Vanilla Cheesecake liquor.
Apple Spice is another key player in the fall flavors lineup. This flavor is a mouthwatering blend of fresh baked apple along with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cardamom, and a touch of ginger. We have a new Mulled Spices flavor with cinnamon, clove, and all spice. Apple Cider and Apple Sangria are standard fall drink offerings that can be combined with alcohol. We also have all the favorite dessert flavors to make any beverages, ice cream, or baked goods: Apple Pie, Apple Crisp, Apple Cinnamon Cheesecake, Caramel Apple, Apple French Toast, Apple Streusel, Apple Cider Donuts, and Apple Turnovers with Cream Cheese Frosting.
Directing your attention to other fall fruits, Pear and Cranberry are perfect for pairing. Pear & Ginger are a seamless combination for a hard seltzer, vodka, bourbon, gin, or baked goods. Other great combs are Pear & Honey, Pear & Raspberry, or Pear & Rosemary. Cranberry pairs well with Orange and Apple or try with Jalapeño for a bold twist. Trending cranberry cocktails are a Spiced Cranberry Margarita, Woo Woo (vodka-cranberry with peach schnapps), or a London Proper (with gin).
Lastly, there is still an upward trend for sweet and savory flavor combinations. Try Salted Caramel & Soft Pretzel in a porter, Brown Sugar & Pecan in a whiskey, Smoked Butterscotch in a rum, or Maple, Snickerdoodle & Bacon in a stout.
