Episode Synopsis

This week I sit down with Emra Nation from Oregon Fruit to talk all things beverage. We dive into the massive shift away from alcohol, the rise of mocktails, dirty sodas, boba, and why Gen Z is driving this movement. Emra’s insights into menu trends, functional ingredients, and her favorite new drinks make this one of the most fun and eye-opening convos I’ve had. If you’re in foodservice and not thinking about your drink menu—this episode’s your wake-up call.Guest: Emra NationCompany: Oregon Fruit ProductsEmail: [email protected]: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emranation/Chapters00:00 Introduction and Background00:56 The Beverage Boom04:45 Changing Attitudes Towards Alcohol10:03 The Rise of Mocktails11:34 Complexity in Beverages14:20 Hot Beverage Trends17:28 The Dirty Soda Phenomenon20:37 Boba and Textured Drinks27:19 Oregon Fruit's New Launch31:00 Future Beverage TrendsListen to the full episode and more!
