It’s hard to imagine someone who doesn’t like ice cream. Think of a cup full of this creamy, ice-cold indulgence, covered in raspberry sauce and colourful sprinkles on top. Could you resist? What if a brand creates an energy drink infused with the sensory experience of ice cream. Would you try it/drink it?
Treating oneself on the go
The demand for foods giving us small moments of gratification in our everyday lives is more present than ever. The pandemic has shown that “self-care as guilty pleasure has transformed to a necessary coping mechanism” (Mintel, 2021).
By implementing such innovative flavour variation in their products, beverage manufacturers can tap into a market that craves a moment of joy amidst busy schedules.

A flavourful twist
The introduction of ice cream-inspired flavours adds a new dimension to the energy drink market. Imagine sipping on a rich and creamy energy drink with notes of vanilla, chocolate, or even fruity sorbet – it’s a sensory experience that offers a delightful departure from the norm.
