Flavour trends

Jeff, our Beverage Innovation Director in North America shares with you the top trends for the upcoming year!

Our team works tirelessly and draws upon multiple and varied inputs of industry research, influencers, and market observations to garner actionable  insight on consumer preferences.
 
Listed below are 5 trends in flavour I have been working with to create timely and flavourful cocktails and beverages.
 
  • The globalization of flavour: flavour fusions driven by consumer’s increasing sense of adventure and interest in global flavours.
     
  • Minimalism/purity: movement towards a minimal number of high quality ingredients in food and beverage products.
     
  • Upscale comfort: flavours correspond with the ongoing nostalgia trend but are taken to a new level with refined, upscale twists.
     
  • Citrus blends:  A rising perennial favourite of light, clean, crisp and refreshing flavours.
     
  • True to nature flavours:  flavours will be reflective of real fruit flavours, influencing seasonal offerings.
