Cold drinks continue to grow share. Frozen and slush programmes are especially attractive because they support year-round sales in Canada, drive impulse purchases and stay highly profitable once the equipment is in place.
Tropical flavours and bright colours, like the pinks and reds of dragon fruit or fruit punch, perform well on social. Customisation and texture, from cold foam to boba to fruit purées, meet Gen Z and millennial expectations. Swicy elements such as hot honey simple syrup or chili-infused builds add novelty without new equipment.
