November has seen the return of a retro classic and the rise of innovative new flavour combinations for cocktails as some of the latest drinks industry trends. Brewers are focussing on low and mid-strength beers, to suit alcohol moderation trends as well as the new alcohol duty rates. The retro Radler is enjoying a resurgence, as a result. New flavours are being found for cocktails, meanwhile, as savoury flavoured creations are booming. We explore these, along with highlights from recent trade fairs Anuga and the Speciality & Fine Food Fair, in our latest monthly report: Drink Trends November 2023. https://hubs.li/Q02bkQ5c0 #beverageindustry #drinksindustry #BeverageTrends #WeBringFlavourToLife

In a number of posts we’ve talked about the importance of language and the challenges brands can face when the language of the product is not understood. Hard Seltzers, and their limited success in the UK are a perfect example of this. Within the RTD category people have endless choices. Cocktails. Mocktails. Gin in a tin…  Flavours ranging from mango and passionfruit to damson and ginger. They’re fun, light hearted, often sweet. They’re easy to understand.  A flavour (often fruit) plus a spirit. But what’s a hard seltzer? For the UK market the name has no meaning. No context. What’s a seltzer? And a hard one at that? It doesn’t sound fun or exciting like a passion fruit martini. Trying to educate people with a new name is challenging.  Especially in a crowded market, where time and consideration are limited. A product needs to be quickly and easily understood. What other products have struggled to be understood? Challenge assumptions. Talk to Hummingbird Insights. #marketresearch #consumerbehavior #foodandbeverage #innovation

I have a prediction for the infused beverage industry. Personally, I believe the biggest drink style of this industry long-term is going to be infused NA Beer. The Hops have naturally occurring terpenes already and adding more will only enhance the uniqueness of the drink. You can infuse either with strain specific flavors or flavorless. This can allow you to create a product that is unique to the category or to create a product that already has a built in consumer base and we can measure the tastiness of the product directly against other beers of that style. I love seltzers, sodas, mocktails, etc. I just believe the beer category is going to be #1 eventually. What do you think? Am I way off base?

Don't gulp your whisky, instead sip it Drinking whisky the right way can elevate your whisky experience and help you appreciate the layers of flavours that lie within your beverage. We always recommend adding just a few drops of water to your whisky to open it up and smoothen its texture. Also see if you can get your hands on a tulip glass with a bowl that guides the aromas to concentrate near its narrow rim, as it will help you appreciate all the delicate aromas in your drink. Here are 3 tips to enjoy your whisky: Gently swirl the whisky in your glass so that the excess alcohol evaporates and gives your drink a smoother taste. Sniff your whisky three times, bringing your nose closer to the glass each time to appreciate its aromas. Take small sips of your whisky and let it coat every part of your mouth. Always remember to take sips of water while drinking whisky to cleanse your palate and stay sober. Share this video with your whisky-loving friends and don't forget to follow us.

In a few days, to celebrate the end of #2023 and the beginning of #2024, you might drink a glass of #champagne. While enjoying it, will you remember that #yeast is an essential ingredient which helps to creating the unique taste of this famous beverage ? Champagne production is a highly specific process that begins with alcoholic fermentation, followed by bottling and "prise de mousse", then maturation. Throughout this complex journey, #yeast works its magic, helping each champagne 🍾 to develop its distinct signature. Of course, the yeasts to be used must be chosen from among those which are the most compatible with the organoleptic characteristics of champagne . Explore this magical process: bit.ly/3RFbzwC
