As a psuedo mixologist, I'm always looking for new things to look onto for the coming year. Whether it's a type of cocktail, a certain style, a new bar look, etc. You'll always find some interesting things.
1.) Tea - this is pretty interesting and kind of suitable depending on the time. I mean, right now it's January so of course it'll be mighty cold. I can see why starting the day off with Tea or before. Also, there's an interesting mix Scotch and Green Tea.
Infusion
Meat - Bacon and Shark. These things are actually becoming a rage and a sort of weird delicacy. Go to my post about the Snake and Vodka.
Wine/Ciders - these are perfect to go with food. Bars make much more because they'll serve alcohol and dinner for patrons.
Mixed Drinks - save time. We aren't talking about the mixed low alcoholic drinks, but some of your favorites on tap already pre-made.
Specialty - sugars, garnishes, bitters. Certain bitters, fruits for garnishes and even things like Agave Nectar is more apparent.
Less Alcohol - no flat on face. People are starting to get into more lower alcoholic beverages so they have a smoother ride home.
Fresher Ingredients - I actually wrote a hubpage on this
Technology - Digital tablet menus, kiosks, smart phone apps and QR codes make drinking a 21st century activity. A lot of smartphone apps for different cocktails just in case people forget.
Whiskey - classic cocktails. People are going back to the older cocktails that have a sort of sophistication that the newer ones don't.
