Targeting consumers who prioritize wellness, health food chain [Holland & Barrett](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-collagen-drink) launched a unique low-calorie and alcohol-free line of botanical drinks called Kolibri. While many brands are now launching [non-alcoholic products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/non-alcoholic-spritz) to appeal to rising interests in low- and no-alcohol products, Kolibri sets itself apart with a patented agave syrup-filled cap that allows for drinkers to add their desired amount of sweetener, if any at all.

All of the new [botanical beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fentimans-botanically-brewed) boast a base of sparkling spring water and Holland & Barrett's Kolibri is available in options like Chilli & Cardamom, Strawberry & Basil and Elderflower & Lime, all of which are prepared with 100% natural ingredients. The sweetener is said to have slight hints of citrus and caramel to further enhance the taste of the refreshingly low-calorie beverages.
