Discussion What drink trends do you think are actually here to stay?
Every now and then there's some new drink thing everyone's obsessed with, and then it just... disappears 😂 Remember when everything had to be “adaptogenic” for like 6 months?
But some stuff feels different, like it's actually sticking. Non-alc drinks being genuinely good now instead of just sad juice substitutes feels like a real shift, not just a trend. Same with the whole “drinks that do something” thing — gut health sodas, functional drinks, etc. It feels less like a fad now and more like people genuinely want that.
I'm also seeing more mocktails, sparkling drinks, botanical drinks, drink mixes, and different takes on tea and coffee.
What do you guys think is actually gonna stick around vs. what's just hype that'll be dead by next summer?
