Latest Trends in Exotic and Tropical Juices

Juices are getting a refresh with bold, unexpected flavours.

While traditional favourites like apple and orange will always have a place, there’s a growing interest in tropical and exotic juices that bring something new to the table, with 26% of UK consumers looking for something new and different in their food and drink choices. From vibrant pomegranate and passionfruit to the distinct taste of lychee, these juices deliver more colour, more unique flavour profiles, and a touch of adventure.

The UK juice market is embracing these vibrant flavours, appealing to those who are ready for a little adventure in their glass. Read on to discover the latest trends in exotic and tropical juices that are making a splash with flavours that feel just as refreshing as they look.


Pomegranate

Pomegranate is known for its bold, tart-sweet flavour that adds a rich, deep taste to juices. Often enjoyed on its own or blended with berries and citrus, pomegranate is a popular choice for those looking for a unique and refreshing juice experience.

Pomegranate is rich in antioxidants and contains vitamin C and potassium, which are great for supporting overall wellness. Uren offers Pomegranate Juice (Not From Concentrate) and Pomegranate Concentrate, perfect for creating blends that balance tartness with natural sweetness.


Pineapple

Pineapple’s sweet, tropical taste is well-loved for its juicy, tangy flavour. Its bright profile makes it a natural fit in tropical juice blends, offering a burst of sweetness that complements other exotic fruits.

Uren’s Pineapple Juice (Not From Concentrate), Pineapple Concentrate, and Pineapple Puree provide endless possibilities for tropical combinations. Pineapple pairs well with mango, passionfruit, and coconut water to create classic, island-inspired juice blends.


Blood Orange

Blood orange stands out with its rich, slightly bitter taste and beautiful deep red colour. The flavour has a complex sweetness with hints of raspberry, making it a distinctive alternative to traditional orange juice.

This fruit offers vitamin C and antioxidants, and Uren provides Blood Orange Juice (Not From Concentrate) and Blood Orange Concentrate. Blood orange works well in both standalone juices and blended drinks, creating an eye-catching and flavourful twist on classic citrus.


Lychee

Lychee has a floral, slightly sweet flavour with a hint of tartness, offering a delicate and refreshing profile that’s both unique and enjoyable. Its exotic taste brings something new to juice blends, making it popular among those seeking lighter, fragrant flavours.

Uren’s Lychee Puree is a great addition to juice mixes, pairing beautifully with other tropical fruits like mango or passionfruit. This puree allows for versatile applications, from refined mocktails to floral, lighter juice blends.


Passion Fruit

Passionfruit brings a tangy, tropical punch to any juice, with a slightly sour, aromatic note that sets it apart from other fruits. This tropical favourite pairs well with both sweet and citrusy flavours, adding a distinctive touch that appeals to fans of bold, exotic tastes.

Known for its high vitamin C content, passionfruit provides a zesty, invigorating flavour. Uren offers Passionfruit Juice (Not From Concentrate), Passionfruit Concentrate, and Passionfruit Puree—ideal ingredients for tropical blends, mocktails, and vibrant standalone juices.


Prickly Pear

Prickly pear has a mild, subtly sweet flavour that’s refreshing and delicate, with a taste somewhat similar to watermelon or kiwi. This cactus fruit brings a light sweetness to juices and adds an intriguing flavour to blends.

Uren offers Prickly Pear Concentrate and Prickly Pear Puree, which are great for mixing with citrus or berries to create balanced, lightly sweet juices that stand out with a smooth and refreshing profile.


Mango

Mango offers a rich, creamy sweetness with a hint of tartness, making it one of the most popular tropical fruits. Its full-bodied flavour is versatile enough to stand alone or pair with other fruits in a juice blend.

Available in Mango Concentrate and Mango Puree from Uren, mango works beautifully in mocktails, smoothies, and tropical juice blends. Combined with other exotic fruits like pineapple and passionfruit, mango creates a satisfying, indulgent experience.
