Hottest Trends in Cold Beverages
One of the big trends for 2010 is not only new interesting non alcoholic drinks but healthy as well. I came across this article http://entertaining.about.com/cs/recipesandmenus/a/beveragetrends.htm that gives you a brief rundown of new and healthy non alcoholic beverages. People are going crazy for anything natural with no high fructose corn syrup and natural flavors. Carbonation is still very popular, people love fizz and that sensation of tinny bubbles in their mouths. It seems that what people want now is all about the fruit, and now people don't want solid fruit flavors, they want fusions they want the Fruitberry or Apricotpeach. Some of these beverages are 100% juice which scares me because that cannot be cheap. But again weve all learned the people will pay for quality even in this terrible economy. And it seems that tea is having a big comeback with people going crazy about bubble tea. I personally haven't heard of most of these brands but they were are showcased at the New York Fancy Food Show. We should definately start getting away from sodas and artificial sweeteners and start drinking real juices and real ingredients.

I have not heard of these beverage companies yet, but it is interesting to see numerous companies trying to attract the adult population with new and improved drinks geared towards their age group that include healthier options. By getting rid of the sugar and preservatives it allows adults who have strict diets or just stay away from beverages because of how unhealthy they are to enjoy these beverages and not worthy about the risks most drinks contain. It will be interesting to see if this ends up as a trend or fad over the next couple of years.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of real fruit juice combinations. I have always been leary toward diet sodas. All the artifical sweetener in it can't possibly be good for you. I have always preferred a glass of real juice. Tea has been on the rise again, and I personally love natural teas. Why drink all the processed drinks full of sugar when you can have something naturally delicious? I have never had bubble tea but I would really like to try it, although I believe it may be a fad. Beverages can be exciting, and all these new fruit fusions are making that possible again.
