# Coconut-Infused Lemonades This Blended Lemonade is Inspired by Italy's Refreshment Stands By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2016-01-14 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blended-lemonade References: [foodbev](http://www.foodbev.com/news/jones-soda-co-announces-launch-of-lemoncocco/) & [drinklemoncocco](http://drinklemoncocco.com/) [Jones Beverages International](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiesta-jones) recently launched a blended lemonade that is inspired by the distinct refreshment stands found throughout Rome. Although there are a number of lemonades on the market, this product's distinct Italian influence sets it apart from competitors. 'Lemoncocco' is a blended lemonade that is inspired by the sweet Italian refreshers found in Rome. With this Italian influence in mind, the drink contains extracts from real Sicilian lemons and a little bit of [coconut cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberries-cream1). The premium drink is non-carbonated and it tastes less sweet than a soda or fruit juice. The light and slightly tart flavor makes the drink a refreshing afternoon beverage or a suitable base for a cocktail. At only 90 calories per 12 ounce serving, the coconut-infused lemonade serves as a healthy alternative to sugary sodas and fruit juices. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## 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 - **Coconut-infused Beverages:** There is an opportunity for companies to leverage coconut-infused beverages as a healthier and unique alternative to traditional sugary beverages. - **Italian-inspired Beverages:** Companies can tap into the growing consumer interest in Italian-inspired beverages, by incorporating unique flavors and ingredients to differentiate their products. - **Healthy Beverage Alternatives:** There is potential for companies to offer healthier beverage options as consumers continue to prioritize health and wellness. ### Where This Applies - **Beverage Industry:** The Beverage industry can capitalize on the trend of healthy and unique beverages inspired by Italy and infused with coconut, appealing to consumers' preferences for distinct flavors. - **Food and Beverage Retail:** Food and beverage retailers can stock their stores with healthy and unique beverages like coconut-infused lemonades that cater to consumer preferences for unique, healthy drinks. - **Hospitality Industry:** The Hospitality industry can create specialty cocktails and mocktails using Italian-inspired coconut-infused lemonades to offer unique and healthy beverage options to customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creamy Citrus Coconut Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vita-coco-treats-orange-crme.md) - [Energizing Coconut Juices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vita-coco-coconut-juice.md) - [Globally Inspired Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/globally-inspired-lemonade.md) - [Fruity Coconut Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/100-coconuts.md) - [Tropical Coconut Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pia-colada-with-pulp.md) - [Coconut Mint Cold Brews](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocomint.md) - [Fruit-Infused Frozen Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-infused-lemonade.md) - [Crisp Citrusy Soda Flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-lemon.md) - [Alcoholic Lemon-infused Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemondou.md)
