As June marks the start of summer refreshment, a snapshot of SnackMagic beverage performance below shows that bev 2.0 brands that sport botanical properties (Dry Soda), Asian inspired flavors (Kimino Drinks), and alternative energy (Riff) can prove good unit velocity metrics.  

But, powdered formats (Craftmix) can easily compete head to head with its RTD counterparts.  An influx of 2022 investor interest and DTC shipping conditions have created strong tailwinds for this format in the era of digital beverage commerce.

Top search terms on SnackMagic's Marketplace strike three distinct buzz words across categories, dietary restrictions, and flavor profiles.  Coffee, Keto, and Lemon.

Does this mean that you should have a coffee soda product, sparked with some citrus notes?  Brands like SlingShot and Keepers come to mind.

Lastly, a deep dive of recently favored consumer flavor profiles show fruity and sweet beverage reign supreme. No surprises there. But, herbal and earthy strike third place for top-ranked consumer flavor -- beating out preferences for tart.

Herbal and earthy flavors are no stranger to categories such as packaged tea, but perhaps other bev 2.0 brands should explore more.
