As coffee-infused alcohol tops the list of coffee trends for 2022, this classic shows no signs of going anywhere. Palates have slightly changed since then, and we now tend to opt for lighter cocktails, but you can still find it on many drinks menus - often served with a half serving of milk and cream. This rich, creamy drink made with vodka, coffee liqueur, and cream is served over ice in an old fashioned tumbler. Presumably, serving drinks in this way helped to reduce the amount of time one needed to spend queuing at the bar, giving disco dwellers more time to absorb moments with friends on the dancefloor." The most popular recipes of that time tended to be slightly sweeter or creamier, mixing a wide range of juices with soda, and served as long drinks. “Cocktails being consumed during these formative years were designed to be enjoyed on, or next to the dance floor. "Cocktail culture back in the 1970’s and 80’s lent itself extremely well to the emerging trends in music with the new wave of funk and soul from the 60’s that transitioned into disco," explains Tessa Hughes, heads of Global Customer Experience at NIO Cocktails. Otherwise, stock up on the best champagne and prosecco deals and source some of the original deer-emblazoned Babycham glasses to serve them in. There isn't really a 'classy' alternative to this sparkling perry but it's a must if you're throwing a kitsch throwback party. Seen as the original party drink, you couldn’t go to a soiree without seeing a bottle (or four…) floating around.

This was the bottle one would take to a dinner party if you didn’t know the hosts well, or if you were on a tight budget. Lambrusco is a frizzante (lightly sparkling) red wine from the Emilia-Romagna region of Northern Italy.
"Portugal are still a leader in rosé production, although the Quinta do Portugal Rose (Douro, 2021) is a little drier and lighter in colour than the much loved oval shaped 70’s equivalent." Lambrusco
#LAMBRUSCO WINE BOTTLE UPDATE#
Elton sings “I get juiced on Mateus and just hang loose.”įor a classier update in 2022, Sarah recommends a different Portuguese rose. But it really made an impact and will forever be epitomised in Elton John’s 1973 song Social Disease.
This iconic Portuguese wine was more famous for its unique flask-shaped bottle than the contents. Here are the top brands of the time, as well as the ones worth serving in 2022. Some of the brands of the time "have been victims of their own success," admits Sarah, but others have stood the test of time. "With Britain joining the EEC in 1973 and an increase in European summer holidays for the middle class, the 70’s really allowed the consumer to get to grips with popular European styles of wine."

Wine-drinking habits changed in the 1970s as wines from the continent became more accessible but the wines that were considered the height of sophistication in 1970 aren't necessarily the ones that spring to mind today.
