3 Drink Business Ideas For Trendy Millennials

Would you care for a drink?

Today’s Millennials have a vast range of tastes when it comes to drinking. Wild grunge parties of the 1990s where everyone drank to oblivion are a thing of the past. Millennials and Gen Z have a much more appreciative approach to drinks. They instinctively understand the need for expertise when it comes to a good beverage, whether it is served in a cocktail glass or a coffee mug. The passion for knowing and understanding everything about their favorite drinks can inspire the launch of sophisticated businesses that can surf on the drink culture wave. 

As it happens, more and more individuals are staying at home in the midst of the pandemic. They are losing their opportunity to socialize with friends at the local bar or coffee shop. It offers a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs to launch a drink business that is dedicated to enhancing your at-home experience.

Romantic night-in delivery 

The pandemic is making a strong argument for romantic night-ins. A business model that specializes in offering a range of celebration drinks for each occasion can serve the night-in purpose. It is fair to say that not every household is equipped with the knowledge to pick the right bottle for their home-cooked meal. That’s where a unique differentiating factor can help promote your business. Offering simple recipes along with each bottle of wine can transform the romantic dinner at home. For unique partnerships, the business can also provide direct links to local takeaways with recommendations on the best choices for each wine. 

It can also be helpful to join small ingredients to prepare wine or bubbly cocktails, such as letterbox-friendly pouches with small quantities of spirit, fruit juice, or soda with step-by-step instructions. 

Coffee-at-home supplier

Some days, you just fancy a smooth and mellow cup of coffee that hits all the right spots inside your mouth. As many employees have embraced home-based work arrangements during the pandemic, many find themselves missing their favorite drinks at the local coffee shop. As the Beverage Industry market reveals, Americans consume a lot of coffee – 400 million cups of coffee every day. But some prefer a frothy cappuccino while others want an oat milk latte with a dash of vanilla syrup. It can be tricky to reproduce barista-quality at home. Yet, a coffee or tea specialist could provide all the tools people need to create the right drink. 

Investing in automated espresso or coffee gear such as a superautomatic machine means that you don't even need an expert barista to make high-quality drinks. The machine does all of the work for you without the cost of labor and extra overhead

Alcohol-free cocktails for families

Not every home enjoys drinking alcohol. From pregnant women to fitness enthusiasts, a lot of adults would welcome the services of an alcohol-free specialist. Many households start the day with a homemade smoothie or freshly-pressed juice. But they fail to recognize the potential of a healthy mocktail. Did you know you could use a fun drink to inject more vitamins into your day-to-day lifestyle? A strawberry orange mango kombucha mocktail is packed with vitamins and probiotics goodness. Besides, there’s a grown-up scent to the fermented kombucha that makes this drink the perfect go-to option for a happy hour glass! 

Delivering drinks and drink recipes to trendy households who want to rediscover the pleasure of social drinking is a unique business opportunity. Contrary to common belief, the beverage market is vast. Regardless of your offering (alcoholic, alcohol-free, warm, etc.), it’s time to inject a healthy dose of sophistication into at-home drinking.

Moet & Chandon x AMBUSH Collaboration

International fashion designer of AMBUSH, Yoon, is releasing an unprecedented and inspirational collaboration with iconic champagne house, Moët & Chandon this February—a first for Yoon in this territory and first artist collaboration for the House’s signature Moët Imperial Champagne in 152 years.

Known for her pioneering spirit as a “rule-breaker,” Yoon injects her minimalist aesthetics into the redesign by changing the gold neck of the bottle to a deep shade of black, contrasted with a new embossed label in white, to produce an eye-catching design that suggests a blank slate—like a window onto a future filled with possibilities for those who dare step forward.

While visiting Epernay in Champagne country and home to Moët & Chandon since 1743, Yoon was inspired by the lush nature of the agricultural heartland and impressed by the care that went into preserving the land and it’s age-old traditions. Following the visit, Yoon choose World Land Trust to receive the profits of sale of the limited-edition bottles, with support from the brand. We share additional details on World Land Trust below, for your reference.

This momentous partnership showcases Yoon’s disruptive creative and aims to bring a freshness to the centuries-old heritage of the Moët & Chandon, allowing the brand to connect with the spirit of its time and stand for the values that speak to today’s generations.

Online Cocktail Bar Ghost Bar Launches in Manhattan

Bars are closed and it’s getting cold outside. Sure you have a full bar at home, but the work of making a drink and it never being just right is getting to the best of us? You can get pretty much everything delivered to you, and now well made cocktails are an option thanks to Ghost Bar, an online cocktail bar that offers convenient and fairly-priced cocktails for stay-at-home New Yorkers’ mixed-drink needs, is launching in Manhattan

Born out of pandemic and based in Midtown Manhattan, Ghost Bar is a solution to customers' needs for instant access to their favorite mixed drinks at an affordable price, with the craftsmanship and convenience comparable to their once frequented cocktail bars. The drink menu offers a wide range of classic cocktails, such as Last Word and Sazerac, and creative inventions, such as silky and smooth Espresso Martini, fresh and juicy Dragon Fruit Daiquiri, and a fun twist on Long Island. Named Longest Island, it's a Baijiu-based drink mixed with complex flavors that tastes like a glass of floral iced tea.  

Ghost Bar is the brainchild of Ning (Amelie) Kang and Yishu He, owners and partners of MáLà Project. Amelie attended the Culinary Institute of America, where she developed a passion for cocktails. Prior to establishing the dry pot eateries in the city, she used to bartend at B Flat in Tribeca and an award-winning speakeasy in Beijing, called Apothecary, where she honed her mixology. "Now with respect to social distancing and many bars closing, you can only drink so many Whisky on the Rocks at home without wanting something more easygoing,” says Amelie Kang, Co-Founder of Ghost Bar. “And making drinks at home, getting a few bottles of liquor, juicing, and preparing the ice...can be quite a commitment. Sometimes I wish there's a quick and easy solution to a nice cocktail, and I think many people want the same."
