5-Hour Energy Mocktail Recipes
5-Hour Energy created a range of alcohol-free mocktail recipes using its flavoured energy shots, from a blue raspberry Shark Attack Refresher to a coconut Water Hazard. The brand used the growing mocktail trend to reframe its caffeine shots as colourful, social drinks rather than something consumed straight.
Why it worked: It hijacked the Dry/Mocktail trend with visually snackable, recipe-ready builds that reframed a utilitarian shot as a social, photogenic drink.
The lesson: Consider packaging your product into easy, on-trend recipes or rituals media can embed and readers can replicate this weekend.
