Liquor Infused Milk Shakes Increase Sales
Liquor infused milk shakes are surfacing nationwide as a new signature drink in the adult beverage industry.
This modern twist on an old, classic favorite, has really taken off across the country, with names such as the Grasshopper, The King, Grandma's Treat and the All Nighter.These tasty treats offer comfort food appeal, with a mature twist.The Grasshopper is a commonly known alcoholic milk shake, with creme de menthe, white creme de cacao, vanilla vodka and peppermint oil. The King, is a signature spiked shake at ChefBurger in Kansas City, Mo. Made with banana ice cream, peanut butter cups, vanilla vodka and banana liqueur, a nod to Elvis's affinity for peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Another popular is the B-52, made with Kahlua, Bailey's Irish Cream, Grand Marnier, and vanilla ice cream 1.
Burger concepts are steadily becoming more popular in this ever present recession, as consumers are trading down from higher priced restaurants.The obvious need for these delicious delights became apparent as owners spotted the need for an adult beverage that paired well with a burger; a dirty martini doesn't exactly couple well with a big burger and fries.
Owners of the burger concepts that have been the forerunners of these liquor infused drinks, report that they sell approximately one adult shake for every four burgers. At approximately $11 to $13 a piece, sales have seen a steady increase.Many see these drinks as just a continuation in the natural progression in the art of mixology.
It seems that these food-friendly cocktails have taken off and have also created a new revenue stream for burger concepts that have had the creativity and swagger to add them to the menu.

Here's what our contest winners wanted to say about Fintech:
I have used Fintech in the past and found them very helpful. When I came to Nath Companies and I heard we were taking on Bonfire, I immediately suggested Fintech to help in the liquor billing area. We got on the phone right away and again received the wonderful customer service as I have in the past. Fintech took care of everything from calling the vendors to setting up our account. They have been very patient with us as some dates have changed for us. We are looking forward to working with Fintech and building a great relationship. I highly recommend them.
- Kari Bjornlund
Fintech has allowed Hyatt Select Hotels Group to simplify our beer, wine and liquor payables. The service they provide ensures us that our relationships with vendors stay in good standing; allowing us to better meet our customers needs.
- Julie Habben
Fintech has streamlined our alcohol payables, enabling us to meet TABC payment requirements.Most of our Texas vendors process payments through Fintech, which makes everything so much easier.
- JoAnn Roach
Fintech is a prompt and safe way to transfer funds.
- Jean Sheldon
Fintech has given me peace of mind and reduced my stress level. Since we have controls on who can sign checks, I have to always be available to sign the checks upon delivery. I no longer have to worry about always being here to sign the checks and being stressed out about missing a delivery. We should have done this a lot sooner!
- Amy March
I have been a Fintech customer for 6 months. I love this service! We are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, so Fintech enables me to not have to always be here. It allows for convenience of receipt of wine shipments and No more having to leave signed blank checks!
- Pat Daly
Fintech is an easy and convenient way to receive payments from our customers. It makes my job a lot easier!
- Shelley Regina
