Flavour That
Performs
We build flavour systems for your beverage, from craft drinks to mass-market RTD formats.
Start with the Beverage Base
Functional bases can bring bitterness, astringency and metallic notes. VKA builds the flavour against your actual base. Any health claims on your pack are yours to substantiate under the rules of the markets you sell in.
Three Notes to Address
Your beverage sets the flavour brief.
Flavour balance
We balance the flavour around bitterness.
Mouthfeel
We account for astringency in the mouthfeel.
Aftertaste
We watch for metallic notes in the aftertaste.
Three Capabilities, One Goal
Botanicals, natural colours and sugar reduction, developed around the taste of your beverage.
Botanicals
We source botanicals through our supplier network as part of the flavour brief.
We build the flavour to work with the botanicals in your beverage base.
Natural Colours
Colour drives purchase intent. Consumers expect vibrant drinks, but they also expect clean ingredient lists. Our natural colour portfolio delivers both.
Stable in acidic pH ranges, resistant to light degradation, and compatible with common preservative systems.

Sugar reductions are validated per product, with panel data shown to you.
We work with natural sweetener blends and flavour modulators, not synthetic alternatives. The result tastes like the original, not a diet version.
