Summer is in full swing and consumers are looking to cool off with some refreshing beverages. However, they still need that morning pick-me-up. To satisfy both need states, iced coffee releases continue to light up the shelves, and the readers of Beverage Industry agree.
In the Readers’ Choice New Product of the Month poll for June, Caribou Premium Iced Coffee ran away with the vote, capturing 52 percent. Available in Chocolate Mocha, Vanilla and Sea Salt Caramel, Caribou’s new iced coffees are made with the same Caribou coffee and premium ingredients used in its other premium coffee beverages, the company says.
However, functional beverages were not overlooked in the poll as Take 5, astress-relief dietary supplement shot, and C Botanicals, a line of fermented botanicals and aromatics, tied for second with 13 percent of the vote.
Rounding out the Top 5 were The Baron Samedi Spiced Rum and Point Siesta Key Citrus Pale Ale with 7 and 5 percent, respectively.
