Frankfurt Drink Culture 2026 – how rap hype influences taste

What we will see at the bar in Frankfurt in 2026

If attitude shapes flavor – then how drinks are created will also change.

In 2026, Frankfurt will be stronger:

• bitter instead of sugary
  clearer bitterness, less candy sweetness

• precise instead of overloaded
  fewer ingredients, more contour

• characterful instead of smoothed out
  distinctive aromas with edges, no pleasing middle ground

• real ingredients instead of artificial shortcut
  real herbs, homemade syrups, natural components

and:
Low Alcohol & Zero Alcohol will become a matter of course.
Not as an "alternative".
But as a full-fledged form of enjoyment with its own style and the same level of taste ambition.

Drinks 2026 in Frankfurt do not want to please.
They want to stand out.

With profile.
With identity.
With character.

And exactly because of this, drinks will become conversation again – not just a beverage.
