Pincer therefore boldly claims that its vodka creates much more minimal hangover effects. The new botanical vodka will be available as of this month in the UK. I am not too excited about the thought of elderflower and milk thistle flavoured vodka, but you know, if it stops killer hangovers, then it is a cross I think I can bare! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Herbal-infused Alcoholic Beverages:** Opportunity for companies to create alcoholic drinks with added health benefits. - **Hangover Prevention:** Opportunity for companies to create products that minimize or eliminate hangover effects. - **Functional Cocktails:** Opportunity for bars and restaurants to offer cocktails with added health benefits. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Alcohol and Spirits Industry:** Pincer's hangover-free vodka may disrupt the traditional alcohol industry by offering a new alternative. - **Health and Wellness Industry:** Pincer's use of elderflower and milk thistle highlights the potential for natural and organic ingredients to be used in alcoholic beverages. - **Hospitality Industry:** Functional cocktails could become a new trend in bars and restaurants, offering customers a healthier option while still enjoying alcoholic drinks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Botanical Vodka Seltzers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-botanical.md) - [Anti-Hangover Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/morning-fresh.md) - [Elegant Honeysuckle-Infused Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honeysuckle-vodka.md) - [Hangover Recovery Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hangover-recovery-gummies.md) - [Juicy Anti-Hangover Pouches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prepear.md) - [Naturally Flavored Alcohol-Free Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alcoholfree-flavored-vodkas.md) - [Vegan Hangover Recovery Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hangover-recovery-gummies1.md) - [Cannabis-Flavored Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannabisflavored-vodka.md) - [Botanical Violet-Hued Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butterfly-lavender-vodka.md)
