Trend 2:
Beverages Are Booming
The beverage landscape is entering a new era, where experience matters as much as taste.

Mocktails Get a Glow-Up The New Drink Culture
Evolving beyond the no and low-alcohol movement, people are embracing leveled-up alternatives from viral “dirty sodas” to functional drinks and complex, alcohol-free mocktails. Fruit isn’t just an additive; it’s the primary flavor driver, bringing bold, taste, easy customization and eye-catching appeal.
As searches climb year over year, drinks that deliver a “wow factor,” without complicated prep are in demand. Gen Z’s flare for fun, and at home mixology, drinks are now expected to feel playful and premium, even without alcohol.
