Trends: Today and Tomorrow Summer 2013 By Becky Tyre

Concepts and colors to keep an eye on.

Happy Hour

With the growing popularity of home entertaining, the cocktail party is back and causing a stir. Small batch vermouths and no-alcohol drinking vinegars may be on trend at the local bars, but home bars are stocked with basics like whiskey and a few nice wines. Customers will be looking to gift stores for items to accompany a bottle as hostess gifts and B.Y.O.B. add-ons.
