Last Friday, the highly anticipated sixth and final season of Peaky Blinders returned to Netflix. As tribute, Irish brand Bushmills has partnered with the company behind the British drama to create a limited-edition whiskey.

The new Bushmills Prohibition Recipe Irish Whiskey is available in wine and spirits retailers across the U.S., and it’s sure to find a market. Today, Americans are drinking more than before Prohibition was enacted. Whether it’s to celebrate or just to take the edge off, sometimes you just need a stiff drink, and increasingly those drinks are being poured right at home.

When bars were closed in 2020, consumers became their own bartenders. Today, self-taught mixologists are still shaking their own cocktails, and they need products to do it. Arthur Morgan, president of California-based supplier Wine-N-Gear, says, “Corkscrews have consistently been our most popular product since Wine-N-Gear was founded in 2007. More recently, we have seen an increase in popularity of ice buckets and barware items, like cocktail shakers and a lot of champagne stoppers.”

From mimosas at brunch to after-work cocktails at happy hour, consumers don’t need a reason to pour it up. “I don't think there’s ever a bad time to gift a branded alcohol product,” Morgan says. “In my experience, some of the most memorable gifts have been given to me at the most random times. I feel like that can leave more of an impression than a gift on a birthday, or during the holidays, when clients can be overwhelmed with gifts.”

While hard seltzers and natural wine are trending in 2022, even non-alcoholic beverages are becoming popular, too. The next drink an end user shares with friends can be from your client’s brands. For distributors wanting to create a booze-related campaign, Morgan suggests pairing a wine or spirit with a custom branded accessory. “For example, a champagne stopper with a bottle of champagne. That way, even after the bottle has been finished, the client has a lasting impression and constant reminder of the gift on hand,” he says.

These spirited products will go with your next boozy campaign.
