Cocktail Targeting

A cocktail is an alcoholic drink constituting several ingredients. It is often a mixture of spirits combined with other components such as fruit juices, cream, or flavored syrup. A cocktail is a great drink for a party or hanging out with friends. Cocktails can be mixed to have a lower alcohol concentration than beer or straight spirits, so you can adjust to suit your tastes. Cocktails can be the main offering at an event or can be served as a fun appetizer.

Liquor-based cocktails gained immense popularity in the United States between 1920 and 1933, because alcohol was prohibited. After the prohibition lifted, bartenders and mixologists settled on spirits and liquors as the cocktail’s main ingredients- a currently practiced trend. The cocktail’s fame later declined and rose in the 2000s when bartenders mixed traditional cocktails with different ingredients. Today, cocktail recipes have gained popularity online and are frequently featured in tourism magazines and guides alongside the restaurants that serve them.

The three essential cocktail ingredients are alcohol, a sour ingredient, and a sweet ingredient. Others include white rum, whiskey, vodka, dark rum, syrup, soda water, limes, and oranges. Cocktails can have many different tastes depending on the ingredients used. However, the most common include sweet, sour, boozy, umami/savory, bitter, and salty. The tastes can enhance each other creating delicious flavors.

There are many different cocktails, but some of the most well-known are the margarita, espresso martini, dry martini, daiquiri, Manhattan, and Negroni. Cocktails are made by mixing two parts of alcohol, one part of sweet and one part bitter ingredient. They can be stirred, shaken, blended, or combined in other ways. Cocktails are traditionally served chilled, but some are served neat (without ice) or on the rocks (over ice). Crushed ice can be used to serve them frozen. Some cocktails come with a garnish, such as an olive in a martini or a cherry in a Manhattan.

Across our managed publishers, we see millions of Cocktail searches each month. This provides a unique opportunity for companies that sell Cocktail ingredients like liquor shops as well as companies wishing to promote products that are served alongside Cocktails or wanting to reach the Cocktail drinking demographic.
