The biggest drink trends you need to try right now

Today's drinks market is full of exciting innovations and whether you're entertaining at home, relaxing on the weekend or dining out, it's always fun to try something new. Wine drinkers, cocktail lovers and soft drink sippers alike will love theseunique drinks trends that have risen in popularity this year, with something for everyone to enjoy no matter the occasion. Which delicious drink are you most excited to try?

Orange wine

You know about red, white and rosé already, but have you had the chance to sample orange wine yet? Thisamber hued beverage has in part become popular because of how aesthetically pleasing it appears on Instagram, but that's certainly not the main reason you need to try it,and orange wine in fact has a long history that many people aren't aware of.

Orange wine isn't a wine made with oranges, but rather a type of white wine made by leaving the grape skins in contact with the juice. This natural process uses little to no additives, giving the end product a very different taste to a classic red or white. Wines made in this way are the oldest form of whites and have been produced in Georgia for millennia. More recently, winemakers in other regions such as Italy, Slovenia, France and the United States have also turned their attention to this technique.

Orange wines are often described as full-bodied and robust, having the refreshing qualities of a white wine alongside the great depth of flavour of a red. They're best enjoyed with red meat, especially lamb, with bold dishes such as curries or simply on their own. The Calcarius Nu Litr Orange is a great choice paired with appetizers on a summer's afternoon.

Rosé champagne and prosecco

If you've witnessed the buzz surrounding natural wine brandCalcariuson social media over the past year, you may have also seen a deluge of pink fizz on your feed, with a host of celebrity rosé launches contributing to its moment in the spotlight. Kylie Minogue, Sarah Jessica Parker and Post Malone have all got in on the rosétrend by launching their own pale pink rosé brands, whilst Brad Pitt launched his own rosé champagne house which has proved extremely popular, despite a retail price of $300 a bottle.Rosé prosecco has since been introduced to the UK market and studies suggest that prosecco sales are continuously rising, with 25% of consumers regularly drinking pink fizz.

Ready-to-drink cocktails

Since 2019, the ready-to-drink category has seen a huge surge in growth, with RTD offerings having become much more diverse as a result. Consumers love convenience so it should come as no surprise that ready-to-drink cocktails continue to perform so well, but this industry has certainly also been helped along by the pandemic as we'vesought out new and exciting beverages to enjoy at home. Particularly popular at the moment are RTDs that are lighter, lower in carbs and lower in alcohol.

No and low alcoholic beverages

Halfway through 2021 the clean drinking trend is showing no signs of slowing, with no and low alcohol drinks continuing to gain traction in the UK. We're spoilt for choice with morelow alcohol beers, wines and spirits to choose from than ever before, as well as a range of nolo ciders, mocktails and seltzers. People are continuously becoming more conscious of the excesses in their diet and are looking to try new options, so this expanding market is great news for the health-conscious and gives non-drinkers more delicious beverages to choose from, too. Into summer, we can expect to see more mocktails containing alcohol-free spirits as well as an expanding range of low-calorie alcoholic drinks.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
