What's a luxury beachfront resort that has everything from a full marina to six restaurants on property to introduce next? Mood cocktails, of course.

On the barrier island of Longboat Key off the coast of Sarasota, the Resort at Longboat Key Club has started featuring what it calls a mood cocktail menu — curated not by the on-site mixologist, but the "moodologist."

The resort's lineup of drinks, in line with what some have called a 2017 mood cocktail trend, are meant to stimulate certain moods and emotions in patrons. Take the cilantro-ginger cooler, which incorporates ginger for relaxation, or the Rock a Rita, whose yellow hue evokes friendliness.

Interesting, and kinda strange, but if you, like me, can get down with it, make the drive to Longboat Key and go check ’em out.
