The UK’s soft drinks market is undergoing a major shift — and it’s one that tastes just as good as it feels. According to the 2024 BSDA Annual Report, more than 70% of all soft drinks sold last year were low or no calorie. That’s right: the majority of consumers are now reaching for lighter, healthier refreshment options.
At Florida Syrups, we’re proud to be part of this evolution, helping you enjoy bold, exciting flavours without the added sugar. Whether you’re mixing with a Sodastream at home or creating your own mocktails, our syrup concentrates are crafted to deliver maximum taste with minimal calories.
Why Are Low/No Calorie Drinks So Popular?
The trend isn’t just a passing phase. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and ingredient-aware. From reducing sugar intake to managing weight and blood sugar levels, people are taking control of what goes into their bodies — without sacrificing flavour.
In 2023:
- 75.8% of soft drinks (excluding fruit juice) sold were low/no calorie
- This shift was seen across all categories — carbonated drinks, squashes, energy drinks, and more
- Even traditional high-sugar categories like syrups and dilutables saw a surge in low-calorie versions
This signals a lasting demand for smarter choices — and it’s reshaping what’s expected from drink brands.
Florida Syrups: Made for the Modern Drinker
We believe that better-for-you drinks should still be fun, fizzy, and full of flavour. That’s why our syrups are:
- Low-calorie or sugar-free, depending on the range
- Made for Sodastream and other home carbonation systems

Each bottle goes further, thanks to our high-concentration formulas that deliver premium taste at a 5:1 dilution ratio. Fewer calories, less packaging, more enjoyment.
