# Bakery-Flavored Alcoholic Drinks BeatBox and Cinnabon Turn Cinnamon Roll into a Sip By Amy Duong | Written with AI assistance | Published 2026-10-06 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-roll-alcoholic-drinks References: [parade](https://parade.com/food/beatbox-launches-new-cinnamon-roll-flavor-inspired-by-april-fools-joke)  BeatBox Beverages is turning a past prank into a real pour with BeatBox Cinnamon Roll, giving shoppers a [boozy take on a bakery favorite](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jam-doughnut-daiquiri). Created with [Cinnabon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnabon-butterbeer), the limited-time drink adds a pastry-inspired pick to the [company's alcoholic flavor lineup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beatbox-beverages-mystic-grape). It traces back to a 2023 April Fools' Day fakeout that imagined the flavor, so the drink arrives as a direct answer to fan demand. Brown sugar and frosting-like cream cheese notes push it closer to dessert than a standard fruit-led option, and it is now sold at select retailers nationwide. This means the cooler gets a more playful flavor cue than the usual citrus or berry route. It also sets up stronger expectations for crossover alcohol drops that turn a brand joke into something people can actually pick up and try.
