# Americana Cuisine Liqueurs Lacey's Vodkashake Harkens Back to 1950s Diner Culture By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2025-02-20 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laceys-vodkashake References: [retailtimes](https://retailtimes.co.uk/milkshake-inspired-vodkashake-cream-liqueur-launches/) & [continental-wine](https://continental-wine.co.uk)  Lacey's Vodkashake cream liqueur has been announced as a new product from [Continental Wine & Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/continental-coffee) in the UK that harkens back to 1950s American diner culture for cocktail enthusiasts to try out. The product features a 15% ABV and comes in 70cl bottles in two flavors including Strawberry and Banana, which are priced at £12 each. The products are crafted with vodka, natural fruit flavor and a creamy base for a milkshake-like taste and texture. The product is vegan-friendly, gluten-free and allergen-free. Marketing Manager Amy Giacobbi commented on the Lacey's Vodkashake cream liqueur saying, "Creamy cocktails are shrugging off their traditional festive associations and becoming an all-year-round drink of choice, with ice cream cocktails, [hard milkshakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yazoo-inspirations) and chilled shots now on trend with drinkers looking for sweeter alternatives to traditional serves. The two Lacey’s Vodkashake variants have instant shelf-appeal and are a great addition to your chillers for the warmer months, as well as the Christmas sales period." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 35% - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Retro-inspired Beverages:** Bringing back the nostalgic aesthetics of the 1950s American diner culture, these beverages combine modern vegan-friendly ingredients with a vintage twist. - **Year-round Creamy Cocktails:** Transforming what used to be a festive-only treat, year-round creamy cocktails are expanding their consumer base by appealing to those seeking rich, dessert-like drink experiences. - **Functional Packaging for Shelf Appeal:** Capitalizing on visually appealing packaging designs is enhancing product visibility and attracting consumers seeking novelty in their everyday drink choices. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Nostalgia-driven Food and Beverage:** Tapping into consumer sentimentality, this industry leverages retro themes to create emotionally resonant product offerings that distinguish themselves in a crowded market. - **Plant-based Alcoholic Beverages:** By integrating plant-based formulations, this industry is rewriting the narrative for traditional alcoholic beverages, catering to health-conscious and dietary-restricted consumers. - **Specialty Spirits and Liqueurs:** The rise of uniquely flavored creamy liqueurs is diversifying the spirits market, offering innovative alternatives for cocktail enthusiasts and niche liquor aficionados. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Easy Drinking Canned Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-baby-shake-flavors.md) - [Springtime Dessert Liqueurs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baileys-mint-choc-milkshake.md) - [Creamy Vegan Raspberry Liqueurs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-oats-candied-raspberry-edition.md) - [Diner-Inspired Prepackaged Milkshakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-real-milkshake-company.md) - [St. Patrick's-Themed Liqueurs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baileys-vanilla-mint-shake.md) - [Vanilla-Flavored Moonshine Cream Liqueurs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonshine-cream-liqueur.md) - [Nostalgic Canned Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-up-cocktails.md) - [Plant-Powered Cream Liqueurs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lustre.md) - [Dessert-Like Bottled Milkshakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaken-udder-milkshakes.md)
