Amanda and Kim commune on the current trends bubbling up from the booming beverage industry.
Kim has a wake-up call in the form of a new coffee disruptor Jot that has changed up her coffee game completely. And both parties share their distaste for Nespresso. (spoiler: they all taste the same and the same is not delicious)
Amanda opens up a can of wisdom on Boozy Seltzer that has literally flooded the market - and all we gotta say is “it’s about damn time”….wait for the big reveal on her favorite!
Trends are the name of the game over here - so jump on into the top trending cocktails by state during quarantine acording to Google. Grasshopper anyone?
Bonus content: Amanda shares her secret cocktail recipe for the Bachelorette Trainwreck.
Kim moves onto her research paper re: the history around the vaguely named “natural wine” movement that is shaking up the wine industry - or actually has been since the 1960’s. And Amanda and her agree - Orange really is the new Rosé.
Kim toasts the new luxury social beverage disruptors Haus and Kin - both elevating the game while reducing (or eliminating) the alcohol content for a different type of socialization.
Finally - Amanda dives into the newest bounty of bevvies that are offering more health benefits than the vitamin aisle. She also gives her stamp of approval on CBD & Wellness Drinks like Vybes and Olipop.
