3 New Flavours: Waiting in the Wings
There is always something being tasted, tested or tweaked in the Icely Done kitchen. While you’re mixing up our core range, we are stirring up fresh ideas.
We keep an eye on emerging trends, seek out interesting ingredients and put new combinations through their paces. Sometimes that means finding a different angle on a familiar flavour. Other times, it means making a harder-to-find ingredient easier to work with.
Right now, three flavours are waiting in the wings: Blood Orange & Kumquat, Yuzu & Calamansi, and Elderflower & Apple. Each brings something a little different to the glass.
Blood Orange & Kumquat: beyond your everyday orange
Orange sounds straightforward. Finding the right orange flavour? That took a little more exploring.
Our R&D team worked through a whole range of options, looking for a citrus combination with more depth and character. Something that would give you a reason to look beyond your usual orange juice.
We settled on Blood Orange & Kumquat. The rich citrus character of blood orange meets the bright, sweet-sharp flavour of kumquat, creating a more complex pairing with plenty of possibilities behind the bar.
Familiar enough to catch your customers’ attention, different enough to get them curious.
Elderflower & Apple: a taste closer to home
Sometimes, the ingredients you’re looking for are a little closer to home.
For our Elderflower & Apple mix, we’ve sourced British elderflower and British apple, bringing together two flavours that feel right at home on a British drinks menu.
Delicate floral notes meet crisp, fruity apple in a familiar but sophisticated pairing. And with both key ingredients sourced here in Britain, there’s a story behind the flavour that’s worth sharing with your customers.
Yuzu & Calamansi: hard to source, easy to serve
Finding exciting ingredients is one thing. Finding the right quality, at the right price, from a supplier you can rely on? That’s where the work comes in.
Yuzu and calamansi can be tricky to get hold of and expensive to source. We’ve done the searching, sourcing and testing to bring them together in one carefully developed mix.
It makes these distinctive citrus flavours more accessible for your menu, without you having to track down the ingredients yourself. We’ve taken care of the sourcing, so you can focus on what goes in the glass.
Your next menu addition?
These three aren’t officially joining our core range just yet, but they don’t have to stay behind the scenes.
Available in smaller batches for bespoke orders, with a six-week lead time, they could be the starting point for your next seasonal special or signature serve.
