RTD, or ready to drink, beverages are a favorite

of millennials. And this age group is pushing for RTD beverages that do more.

They want new and interesting flavors, added nutrients and health benefits, as well as hot and cold options. And they are more than willing to pay more for drinks that deliver what they want.

So how can companies capture the attention of millennials and other RTD beverage fans? With exceptional flavor experiences, natural ingredients, low-calorie counts, and easy-to-decipher labels. That means using natural fruits, extracts and florals, and cranking up the intensity of traditional flavors.
