German beverage manufacturer Waldemar Behn has changed the recipe for its Dooley’s vodka-based cream liqueur brand, making it entirely plant-based.

At the end of October, the Dooley’s Creamy Liqueur brand will be relaunched in 700ml bottles, using soy and coconut alternatives to cow’s milk, the company said in a statement.

The move is being made as it “adapts to evolving consumer preferences and global trends towards more sustainable and plant-based diets”.

The Wikinger Met brand owner added: “The popular quality is the basis, while plant-based contents and more sustainable design also appeal to new customers and continue to bind existing fans to the brand.”

Philipp Fellmann, managing director of Waldemar Behn, said: “This bold step adapts to current consumer trends and continues Dooley’s success story – more natural, more sustainable, plant-based.

“I am particularly pleased that our new plant-based Dooley’s has even exceeded our expectations in terms of taste. We were able to maintain the intensely creamy texture in the plant-based variant too”.

Founded in 1892, Waldemar Behn is based in Eckernförde in the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein. The company produces spirits brands such as Kleiner Feigling liqueurs, Andalö aperitif and Danzka Vodka.

The family-run group of companies includes beverage wholesaler Behn Getranke, also located in Schleswig-Holstein, which supplies local on- and off-premise channels, including restaurants, food retailers, petrol stations, and clinics and hospitals.

Waldemar Behn has undergone other bottle redesigns of late, including a fresh look for its Andalö aperitif brand in March as well as its Danzka vodka brand in February.
