Flavour Evolution: How Subtle Tastes Are Taking Over the Beverage World

Attention beverage fans, we've got the inside scoop on the latest flavor trends from none other than Drink X's Tim Page-Walker! According to Tim, flavour profiles have gone from bold and overpowering to subtle and understated.

Gone are the days of overly sugary drinks, as more and more people crave nuanced tastes. Tim cites rose and lavender waters as perfect examples of this trend, where just a touch of flavour can make all the difference.

But it's not just about taste - eye-catching colours are just as important. Like this non-alcoholic Aperitz Spritz created by Monday Distillery and manufactured by Drink X.
