Between the sugar tax and changing consumer sentiment towards fizzy drinks, brands in the UK’s soft drinks sector are facing a challenge to keep people quaffing. Borrowing from the craft beer movement, Neko Jusu’s lemonade range aims to exploit the rising demand for upmarket, artisanal beverages.

Until 150 years ago, all beers were sour. Sydney’s The Grifter Brewing Co. is helping bring this acidic beverage back into the spotlight with a tangy pink lemonade beer and ‘Acid Drop’ ale that sell fast in Australia’s hot climate. So how did the ‘sour’ make its way into the pub? And is it here to stay?

As the concept of healthy living spreads across South East Asia, jamu, an old-age Indonesian health tonic, is growing in popularity among young Western tourists, as the brand makes a concerted effort to push the drink as a traditional wellness product to health-conscious foreigners.

While tea-infused desserts are no longer a novelty, tea company TWG has launched a fine dining experience that infuses the drink into all three courses. With palates growing ever more experimental, this new take on the ancient beverage provides a welcome culinary adventure.
