According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in Latin America and the Caribbean, total alcohol consumption per capita was 6.3 liters in 2018, and the urban population has contributed significantly to alcohol consumption. The growing urban population in South & Central America has shifted consumer preferences toward RTD alcoholic beverages, including cocktails. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a rising trend of socializing and entertaining at home, where consumers increasingly enjoy pre-mixed cocktails without needing a professional bartender.
