As the Managing Director of Smashed Drynks, I want to take you on a personal journey through our brand’s evolution, the exciting developments in the non-alcoholic drinks market, and our vision for the future. Our story began on the famous BBC show Dragons’ Den, where we showcased our passion and innovative products to a panel of industry titans. The invaluable feedback and support we received have propelled Smashed Drynks to new heights.
The Birth of Smashed Drynks
When I first stepped onto the set of Dragons’ Den, I was filled with a mixture of excitement and nerves. Presenting our vision for Smashed Drynks was more than just pitching a product; it was about sharing a dream of revolutionising the way people perceive non-alcoholic beverages. We sought to create drinks that are not only delicious but also cater to the growing demand for healthier, alcohol-free options.
With the backing of our investors, we invested in a state-of-the-art, million-pound machine that allows us to create high-quality drinks with rich flavours and bold profiles. This innovation has been a game-changer for us, enabling us to produce beverages that truly stand out in a crowded market. Our dedication to quality and taste has resonated with consumers, making Smashed Drynks a trusted choice for those seeking non-alcoholic alternatives.
The Non-Alcoholic Market: A Growing Trend
In recent years, the non-alcoholic drinks market has seen explosive growth. More consumers are choosing to abstain from alcohol, whether for health reasons, lifestyle choices, or simply to enjoy a refreshing beverage without the effects of alcohol. As a brand, we recognise this shift and are dedicated to meeting the needs of this evolving consumer base.
The pandemic has only accelerated this trend, with many individuals reassessing their drinking habits. The rise of the “sober-curious” movement reflects a desire for inclusivity in social settings, where everyone can enjoy a drink together—regardless of their alcohol consumption choices.
Our Vision for the Next Two Years
At Smashed Drynks, we are committed to leading the charge in this exciting market. Our vision for the next two years is anchored in three key pillars: innovation, sustainability, and community engagement.
- Innovation in Flavour and Experience: We believe that non-alcoholic beverages should be just as enjoyable as their alcoholic counterparts. Our team is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of flavour, creating unique combinations that excite the palate. We plan to launch several new products, including limited-edition flavours inspired by seasonal ingredients and collaborations with local artisans. By keeping our offerings fresh and diverse, we aim to provide an experience that keeps consumers coming back for more.
- Sustainability Initiatives: As we grow, we remain committed to protecting our planet. Sustainability is integral to our operations, from sourcing ingredients responsibly to utilising eco-friendly packaging solutions. Our goal is to minimise our carbon footprint while ensuring that every sip of Smashed Drynks contributes to a healthier environment. By prioritising sustainability, we hope to resonate with our conscientious consumers and inspire other brands to follow suit.
- Building a Community: Smashed Drynks is more than just a brand; it’s a movement. We want to foster a community where everyone feels welcome, whether they choose our drinks for their taste or as part of a healthier lifestyle. To achieve this, we will be hosting events, engaging with our audience on social media, and collaborating with like-minded organisations that share our vision. Together, we can create a culture of inclusivity where everyone can enjoy delicious drinks without compromise.
