Operators are being encouraged to shake up the summer beverage menu by adding new drink categories and enticing, profit boosting recipes, taking inspiration from the new SHOTT Summer Recipe Collection 2025 which is now available to download.
Business owners focused on delivering a full day’s trade need to cater for a multitude of palates seeking new experiences, appeal to all generations and fill around-the-clock trading gaps with unique flavour pairings to meet consumer expectations, as Louis Dobson for SHOTT Beverages explains:
“It’s all about the experience. Consumers are moving away from traditional AM and PM drinks e.g., cappuccinos and gin and tonics, to more unusual, hand crafted beverages served though the day. Offering interesting ‘alternative’ beverages, attractively presented, and delivered to a consistent standard when combined with tailoring the menu to suit the ‘need states’ of specific day parts, can really help drive sales.”

About SHOTT ‘super concentrates’
SHOTT offers over 60 ‘super concentrates’ that add a pop of authentic flavour across all hot and cold beverages at a rate of 10% syrup, 90% other liquid.
Try popular options such as Salted Caramel, Vanilla and Gingerbread or a more unusual pairing such as Blueberry & Green Tea, Blackcurrant & Honey & Lemon and Ginger & Honey. Simply add to any drink such as mocktails, lemonades, iced coffee, bubble tea, Chai, frappes, coolers and milkshakes.
Unlike other manufacturers, SHOTT uses a purely mechanical, heat free process to produce its syrups for maximum flavour and nutritional value.
Sun ripened raw fruit, harvested in peak season, is cold pressed over an 8-hour period to extract the most flavoursome juice possible.
The result is nutrient rich syrup containing 50% real fruit concentrate, with deep, rich flavours and colours, free from any artificial or GMO modified ingredients, delivering authentic flavour before sweetness, whatever the application.
