Serve the summer trends: fresh ideas for your menu
Trends come and go, but the beauty of our Blends is they’re endlessly adaptable. One week it’s rhubarb, the next it’s tropical, and with a quick switch-up, you can be right on top of what’s next. Here’s some inspo to get your menu moving with the flavours that are making waves this summer.
Hugo gets a glow-up
The Hugo Spritz is having a serious moment this summer, and we’ve put our own spin on it with a rhubarb twist. Our Rhubarb & Strawberry Blend adds a bright, tangy kick that keeps this classic feeling fresh.
Rhubarb hugo spritz:
35ml Rhubarb & Strawberry Blend
25ml elderflower liqueur
75ml prosecco
Banana making a comeback
Banana is sneaking back onto menus with a smooth, creamy sweetness that plays beautifully in tropical serves. Our Pineapple & Coconut Blend makes it effortless.
Chocolate banana colada:
50 ml Pineapple & Coconut Blend
35 ml discarded banana peel spirit
10 ml Briottet white cacao
Tropical flavours
Mango, coconut and passion fruit are still ruling cocktail lists. Flavorman’s 2025 flavour forecast tips tropical fruit as the year’s biggest mover, and bartenders everywhere are leaning into sunshine flavours. Our Mango & Passion Fruit and Passion Fruit & Vanilla Blends are the fastest way to get that holiday feeling in a glass.
Tropical spritz:
50 ml Mango & Passion Fruit Blend
25 ml white rum
25 ml soda
50 ml prosecco
Summer’s spicy trend
From jalapeño margaritas to chilli-rimmed spritzes, heat is everywhere right now. “Swicy” serves, sweet with a fiery edge – are catching on fast. Our Mango & Passion Fruit Blend is the perfect base for something with a kick.

Cocktail trends are all about big flavours, clever twists and serves that get people talking. With our Blends you can serve the drinks everyone’s looking for without overcomplicating things. Whatever’s trending this summer, you’ll be ready to pour it.
