As the cost of on-premises drinking continues to rise, many budget-sensitive consumers are enjoying alcoholic beverages at home.

Casual & Speedy Sips

As covered in The Evolved Entertaining Landscape, many party hosts are prioritising spending more time with their guests over concocting elaborate food and drinks. Therefore, expediency is key, with bottled and batched cocktails – as well as snappy shortcuts and cocktail-making tech – proving popular with at-home drinkers.

Expressive Home Drinkers

Not every at-home drinker is looking to save time. Many are luxuriating over shareable creative libations with left-field flavours and textures, including red wine combined with condensed milk and ice-cream-topped cocktails. Some are allocating whole areas of their homes to the pursuit of mixology, installing wet bars in their dining rooms and stocking their fridges with novelty ice cubes.
