# Cream-Topped Shooters Licor 43’s Baby Lager Looks Like a Shot-Sized Serving of Beer By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2024-07-26 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-lager References: [thespiritsbusiness](https://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2024/07/is-this-the-next-big-drinking-trend/)  Licor 43’s Baby Lager is presented in bespoke miniature glassware and mimics the look of a frothy, freshly poured pint with a layer of Licor 43 and cream liqueur. Beyond aesthetics, the rich cream liqueur pairs well with the vanilla and Mediterranean citrus notes in Licor 43. Data from drinks importer-distributor [Paragon Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mango-passionfruit-gin) says that nearly half of Brits (47%) want a "baby" version of their favorite alcoholic drink and these shot-sized drinks are particularly appealing to Gen Z drinkers who grew fond of the Baby Guinness—a shot made with coffee liqueur and a float of Irish cream. In line with this data, at bars and restaurants, adults are ordering more [mini cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-collection-mini-cans) and cocktail shooter shots made with a mixture of multiple spirits over regular shots. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 26% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Miniature Cocktails:** The trend of creating 'baby' versions of popular cocktails is gaining traction among Gen Z and younger consumers. - **Aesthetic Drink Presentations:** Eye-catching drink presentations that mimic traditional beverages are becoming increasingly popular in upscale bars and restaurants. - **Flavor Pairing Innovations:** Combining multiple liqueurs to create new and rich flavor experiences offers exciting possibilities in the beverage industry. ### Where This Applies - **Alcoholic Beverages:** The sector is exploring novel drink formats and presentations to capture the interest of younger demographics. - **Hospitality:** Bars and restaurants are innovating their beverage menus by introducing visually appealing and unique mini cocktails. - **Glassware Design:** Designing bespoke glassware that complements the visual appeal of new drink trends is becoming a key focus in the industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spanish-Style Micropubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worlds-smallest-pub.md) - [Crisp Springtime Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/licor-43-lemon-spritz.md) - [Pouch-Packaged Vodka Shots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slim-shooters.md) - [Caramelized Biscuit Liqueurs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramel-cookie-liqueur.md) - [Convenience-Focused Mini Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-bottles.md) - [Smooth Chocolate-Flavored Liqueurs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/licor-43-chocolate.md) - [Chocolate Egg Liqueurs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ballycastle-mini-chocolate-eggs-flavour-country-cream.md) - [Easy Drinking Canned Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-baby-shake-flavors.md) - [Creamy Non-Alcoholic Liqueurs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonalcoholic-liqueur.md)
