3 cups coconut rum, like Blue Chair Bay
1 liter Syfo Original Seltzer
Ice
Lime wedges for garnish

Sparkling water has always had its loyal following over the years. Beginning with seltzer back in the day, people have turned to sparkling water for a healthier alternative to soda and other soft drinks. Syfo fans in particular have loved the delicious natural flavors, the 100% purified water and fact that there are no additives. But recently, the sales of sparkling water have seen explosive growth. One of the reasons? Millennials have caught on to the enjoyment and health benefits of sparkling water.

According to the most recent statistics, sparkling water sales have leapt from $65 million in 2010 to $226 million in 2015. It is now the number one flavored water in the U.S. A large part of this growth is from a broad group of consumers that have turned to sparkling water as the negative health effects of sugary soft drinks have gained notoriety. Marketresearch.com reports that consumption of soft drinks, diet or sugared, has slipped by double digit percentages. The site also notes that people who have shifted to sparkling water are more likely to look for organic foods or buy foods that are locally-sourced and without artificial additives.

When it comes to Millennials, marketresearch.com points out that European consumers have long seen their preference for sparkling water as a status symbol. Now in the U.S., Millennials and GenXers have begun to drink premium and sparkling water as a health and lifestyle statement.

At 77 million strong, Millennials will be a dynamic market for sparkling water in the years ahead. And Business Insider points out that blogs and social media have played a large role in getting the word out for sparkling water, as Millennials are less likely to see or be influenced by traditional advertising, but are more swayed by the recommendations of their peers.

If you’re a grocer, now’s the time to jump on the sparkling water trend if you haven’t already. Click here for more information on carrying Syfo Naturally Flavored Sparkling Waters in your store.

Memorial Day is a chance to remember all the service men and women for their sacrifice, and it’s become one of America’s favorite holiday weekends. For many Americans this weekend also heralds the start of summer — with school ending, vacations beginning, beaches opening and plenty of camping, barbecuing and outdoor recreation ahead.

So while all this summer fun is going on, it’s important to be mindful of your health, eat well and stay hydrated. When heading to the beach, pack that sunscreen to offset the hot sun. At your next cookout — in addition to all the meats – add shrimp, a green salad and fresh fruit to help balance the meal. And with any of your outdoor activities, it’s important to have plenty to drink to stay hydrated in the heat.

And not just any liquid. Soft drinks, energy drinks, iced tea, alcohol and similar beverages can actually dehydrate you. This especially true for sugar-laden drinks, where research has shown that the sugar in these drinks removes water from the body.

That’s why water is the perfect beverage choice for all the summer fun ahead and Syfo Beverages can give you the best of both worlds. Our Naturally Flavored Sparkling Waters and Original Seltzer are made with purified water and contain no sugar, sodium, artificial sweeteners, preservatives or other additives. The effervescence is refreshing, the water hydrating and our all-natural flavors make Syfo the perfect complement for any summer activity, get-together or meal. For the perfect summer treat, try our new Peach-Pear Naturally Flavored Sparkling Water!

So enjoy all of your Memorial Day weekend activities while remembering our brave service men and women. And be sure to have plenty of Syfo on hand for those summer days ahead.
