The drinks industry is evolving quickly — and 2025 is shaping up to be a year of customisation, nostalgia, and health-conscious creativity. From retro sodas to functional fizz, this year’s biggest drink trends are perfect for home recreations using Florida Syrups’ flavoured slush concentrates and SodaStream-compatible mixers. Here are the Sodastream Drink Trends for 2025.
Here’s what’s trending — and how you can bring it to life in your kitchen.
1. Retro Flavours Are Back (With a Twist)
Nostalgia is in. In 2025, expect to see a return to classic drinks with a modern makeover — think cola, cream soda, and blue raspberry, but made fresher, more vibrant, and often with less sugar.
✅ Try it at home:
- Mix Cream Soda or Cola syrup with carbonated water in your SodaStream for a throwback fizz.
- Make a layered Cola + Sour Cherry slush for a fun retro treat.
- Add a twist of lemon or a dash of bitters to modernise it.
2. The Rise of Sophisticated Mocktails
With alcohol moderation on the rise, mocktails are taking centre stage — not just as alternatives, but as standout drinks in their own right. In 2025, mocktails are fruity, fizzy, and beautifully presented.
✅ Try it at home:
- Sour Cherry syrup + lemonade + fresh mint = a vibrant party-ready mocktail.
- Blue Raspberry + sparkling water + lemon slice = a bold blue refresher.
- Add herbs, berries, or citrus peels for colour and aroma.
Florida Syrups give you full control over flavour strength and sweetness — perfect for creating drinks that look as good as they taste.
3. Flavoured Sparkling Water Is the New Daily Drink
Plain sparkling water is out — 2025 is all about lightly flavoured, low-calorie hydration with a custom twist. Instead of buying expensive canned options, more people are creating flavoured fizz at home using SodaStreams.
✅ Try it at home:
- Add a splash of Sour Apple syrup to sparkling water for a green apple refreshment.
- Go light on syrup for a hint of flavour, or increase for a bold soda-style drink.
- Serve over ice with fruit slices to elevate the everyday.
With our 18:1 mix ratio, a little Florida Syrup goes a long way — ideal for daily drinks without excessive sugar or waste.
4. Frozen Drinks Go Grown-Up
Slush drinks are no longer just for kids. In 2025, adults are enjoying sophisticated frozen drinks made with real ingredients and bold flavour combos.
✅ Try it at home:
- Make a Cream Soda + Cola slush as a frozen dessert-style drink.
- Add a splash of rum, vodka, or alcohol-free spirit for a frozen cocktail.
- Serve in a cocktail glass with crushed ice and garnish for that Instagram-worthy finish.
Florida Syrups are compatible with Ninja Slushie machines and other home slush systems, delivering smooth consistency and intense flavour — every time.
5. Customisation Is King
More consumers are demanding choice and transparency. They want to know what’s in their drinks, and they want options — including sugar content and ingredients like glycerol.
✅ Florida Syrups offer both:
- Glycerol-based syrups for a lower sugar, smoother slush texture.
- Glycerol-free options for younger kids or those avoiding certain additives.
Whether you’re carbonating with a SodaStream or freezing in a slush machine, our syrups give you full control over how bold, sweet, or functional your drink is.
