In this post I’ll explore the top 6 beverage trends you can expect to see in 2022.
1. Convenient Coffee Drinks (from home)
With an on-going pandemic, many people are STILL working from home and continuing to stay inside. That means those trips to Starbucks on your daily commute are not happening as often. Instead, people have started to become at home baristas. To help provide the coffee you love at home, check out these brands who created convenient coffee products you can keep in your fridge.
- Jot Concentrated Liquid Coffee
- RISE Nitro Cold Brew Coffee
- Elemental Beverage Co. Canned Coffee
- La Colombe Cold Brew on Tap Fridge Pack
2. Adaptogen and Nootropic Sparkling Water
Have you heard of adaptogens and nootropics? Let me break it down for you. Adaptogens are compounds that help your body adapt to stress. They often have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties which helps prevent cellular damage. Nootropics are supplements that may be beneficial for cognitive function like memory, creativity, and motivation. Both of these compounds are being added to drinks to create a fun beverage without the dreaded hangover the next day. Check out these companies hopping on this trend below:
3. Probiotic Packed Drinks
Unless you were living under a rock in 2020, i’m sure you’ve already heard of the bubbly probiotic drink, kombucha. However, as more research comes out about the benefits of probiotics, it makes sense why we’ve started to see them popping up in more beverages. As a reminder, probiotics are healthy bacteria found in foods and beverages that help keep your gut functioning optimally. Check out this list of companies taking over the probiotic beverage trend:
- Califa Farms Probiotic Drinkable Dairy-Free Yogurt
- Siggis Non-Fat Probiotic Drinkable Yogurt
- Kevita Apple Cider Vinegar Tonic
- Obi Probiotic Sodas

5. CBD Infused Beverages
CBD based products such as oils, capsules, gummies and other edibles have been circulating the market for a while now. This year, the beverage industry is capitalizing on that trend as well. As a reminder, CBD is a chemical found in the cannabis plant, but it’s not psychoactive. CDB is used by many people for anxiety and chronic pain relief. Check out these companies who are infusing CBD into their drinkable products:
6. Collagen Water & TEAS
Collagen supplements gained so much popularity in 2020 for their promising benefits to improve joint health, gut health and give you glowing skin. Collagen supplements are often found in the powdered form and thrown into smoothies, baked goods, oatmeal and juices. Now thanks to these companies below, collagen can be easily consumed as a beverage too. These products offer an added level of convenience since the collagen is already mixed in!
