Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages (CSAB) has sought to achieve the holy grail for kids’ drinks - the creamy rich frothiness of an ice cream float in a bottle. A&W and Sunkist Floats launched this January in the US in 11.5oz, vintage, soda shop inspired, glass bottles with twist off tops. “For years, beverage makers have tried to crack the code and develop an indulgent drink that tastes like a homemade float,” said, CSAB Vice President of Marketing Andrew Springate. “The A&W and Sunkist Floats are indulgent treats like nothing consumers have experienced before; one pour and your taste buds will be amazed - no work, no hassle.”

The pack comprises 22.5cl bottles of night ‘vitalising’ mixed berry flavour and a day drink in a ‘brightening’ grapefruit flavour. The formulation contains less than 0.3% fat and is said to maintain skin elasticity and moisture thanks to its collagen ingredients. It is positioned almost as a beauty care product in food with a daily and nightly regime - rather than a beverage product with beauty benefits.

Steve Rifkind, founder of the successful Loud Records hip hop label, has launched Loud Beverage Corp with backing from Universal Music Group.

This company’s rich musical history has its roots in marketing, and that’s the same approach we are taking with Loud Energy Drinks.” “The key strengths of the product are taste, packaging and marketing,” explained Rifkind. A third flavour (Grapple Sauce) is in production and a fourth ‘the sugar free Pomberry Zero’ is completing formulation.

Arrowhead's primary distribution channels include the Western Canadian retail and wholesale grocery market (currently 71% of total revenues).

Orlando, Florida based NBI Juiceworks describes its SunShower range as “Nature’s perfect blend of taste and nutrition”. First launched in 2007 in berry, mango, açaí, pomegranate, cranberry and grape apple flavours, it has now added Stamina and Turbo-G superfood variants. SunShower juices are sweetened with Sucralose and enhanced with natural flavours derived from FDA approved natural food sources. The fruit is first steamed and then pure pressed through a series of screens where it is cold filled for maximum taste as well as nutrition retention. The result is an 8oz bottle filled with 100% juice, equal two servings of fruit, worth 90 calories and with a 70 day shelf life. Its latest launch, Turbo-G, is an energy boosting juice that contains green tea extract, glucosamine, guarana, golden root, ginseng, goji and grape seed extract. Founder, Chairman and CEO Chris New explains: “Turbo-G was developed to keep you performing at your best. The mind and body need powerful nutrients and this drink proves that a functional 100% juice can be extremely nutritious and also delicious.”

Beauty beverages in Asia, especially in Japan, are becoming more common. The 'beauties' include products such as Coca-Cola’s Minute Maid Beautia with gamma-tocopherol, and Meiji Dairies’ VAAM, a beauty jelly drink with amino acids, both of which appeared last year. However, there is still room for innovation, with the use of new ingredients and novel positionings. In Japan, Lotte introduced Beni (Red), a healthy beauty drink for women, made with six year old red Korean ginseng, as well as extracts of hibiscus, dates, safflowers, Chinese wolfberries, longan, firethorn, satsuma orange peel and ginger. According to the company, Korean red ginseng is said to be a time honoured ingredient for health support, helping consumers feel stronger and more energised. This product is positioned for women in their 30s who feel less strong with age, which is a novel positioning for a beauty drink. What is more, the company says that this beverage will also warm up the body from the inside.
