Traditionally, purveyors of alcoholic beverages have focused a lot of their attention on the holiday season. But one major spirits company says the tide is turning, and summer is fast becoming an even more popular time of year to imbibe.
Kate Pomeroy of spirits giant Pernod Ricard says there are two sides to the story when it comes to summer’s growth in liquor popularity.
“There’s the traditional summer drinks - the rums, the tequilas, the vodkas,” she notes, “but then on the other side what we’re seeing is whiskey, which is a burgeoning trend across the whole category. Consumers are extending their... drinking of whiskey into that summer period.”
Some attribute the recent rise in whiskey drinking to Don Draper and the other "Mad Men," but while the hit show may be over, America’s love of brown liquor lives on.
