Spotted on Shelves is back for more at the 2019 Summer Fancy Food Show (FFS) in New York City. I scoped out new products from familiar brands and interesting things from up-and-coming companies.<\/p>\n

I, and everyone else present, ate many free samples. So many samples. This did not affect what was chosen to appear in this column or my opinions of the products.<\/em><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen the savories. We\u2019ve seen the sweets. We have to stay properly hydrated, though, so let\u2019s hit on all the wet stuff at FFS that will keep us refreshed and moist. (Yeah, that\u2019s right – I said it. Moist.) <\/p>\n

Maud Borup\u2019s Very Cherry and Blue Raspberry Fizzy Drink Bombs<\/h3>\n

\"Drinks<\/p>\n

One of my favorite finds at FFS were these little bath-bomb-like spheres that you drop into water to make a fizzy fruit drink. The ball spins, rises and sinks, and sheds edible glitter as it dissolves. The resulting drink is a bright cherry or raspberry flavor. I totally want to drop these into champagne. I just hope Grandpa Joe and I<\/a> don\u2019t bump into the newly-washed and sterilized ceiling.<\/p>\n

Available in specialty grocery stores starting in Mid-August 2019.<\/p>\n

Don Pablo Bourbon Infused Coffee<\/h3>\n

\"Drinks<\/p>\n

My attempts to find interesting coffee products at FFS were hampered a bit by my complete disinterest in coffee as a drink. So I imagined them as hot cocoa products instead, and a bourbon-infused hot cocoa sounded interesting to me. I did take a hearty whiff of the coffee grounds and they smelled lovely, so I\u2019m thinking they taste pretty good as well. It\u2019s made by soaking coffee beans in bourbon, drying them, then roasting (which cooks off the alcohol but leaves the flavor). <\/p>\n

Available in September online, Amazon and select big box retailers.<\/p>\n

Nestea Peach Black Tea, Lemon Black Tea and Raspberry Green Tea<\/h3>\n

\"Drinks<\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be summer without some iced tea, now would it? Nestea was showing some new flavors and new formulas of its bottled iced teas. All three had nice flavors that weren\u2019t too tart or overwhelming. The Raspberry Green Tea was pretty light on green tea taste and sweetened with beet sugar. The Peach and Lemon had beet sugar but also Stevia to sweeten.<\/p>\n

Available now at select grocery chains and discount retails, more outlets coming. <\/p>\n

Republic of Tea The Bates\u2019 Tea, Violet & Mary\u2019s Tea, and Lord & Lady Grantham\u2019s Tea<\/h3>\n

\"Drinks<\/p>\n

\"Drinks<\/p>\n

\"Drinks<\/p>\n

Get out your corsets, the Downton Abbey<\/em> movie is coming! And now you can trade zingers with your favorite salty granny over a cup of Republic of Tea\u2019s new Downton movie themed tea bags. I didn\u2019t taste these, but they smelled lovely. The Lord & Lady Granthams\u2019 flavor is Black Tea with Royal Spices, Violet & Mary\u2019s is Caffeine-Free Ginger Mint Herb Tea (because can you picture Violet amped up on caffeine?), and The Bates\u2019 Plum Pudding Black Tea. <\/p>\n

Available starting August (leading up to the movie release in September) in specialty and natural foods markets and CostPlus World Market.<\/p>\n

iQ juice Vitalize w\/CBD<\/h3>\n

\"Drinks<\/p>\n

The CBD sign drew me in to the iQ juice booth, but what made it really interesting to me were the juices themselves. My jury\u2019s still out on this whole craze, so I didn\u2019t taste its Vitalize with CBD pre-production samples, but another variety I did try – Fat Burner – was truly delicious. I find the idea of a really good base juice with CBD as an ingredient more appealing than something where flavor is secondary to the CBD. The owners told me they chose fruits for Vitalize with anti-inflammatory properties (like dark berries), to play off of CBD\u2019s similar benefits.<\/p>\n

Available before the end of 2019 at specialty grocery and health food stores and select mass-market retailers. <\/p>\n

Mingle Blood Orange Elderflower Sparkling Mocktails<\/h3>\n

\"Drinks<\/p>\n

Mingle is a line of non-alcoholic sparkling mocktails that can be enjoyed as-is, or mixed with your tipple of choice. Obviously a great option for non-imbibers, but I also think it\u2019s handy for lazy folks like myself who never seem to have all the ingredients for classy cocktails. Its new blood orange elderflower flavor was refreshing and fruity but not overly tart. <\/p>\n

Available starting in Mid-July at regional grocery chains and select domestic retailers. <\/p>\n

Tap Drops Tokyo, London, Vienna, Paris, Rome, and New York<\/h3>\n

\"Drinks<\/p>\n

TapDrops sells tiny bottles of liquid that, when added to purified water, recreate the water of other major cities of the world. You could have the bagel-perfecting water of New York City in Peoria. Apparently the coffee in Rome is something wonderful, and you can get closer to recreating it at home with these drops – or just enjoy the tap water of your favorite metropolis without all the annoying travel. <\/p>\n

Available now online, retail distribution TBD. <\/p>\n

Jardin Floral Infusions Rose, Honeysuckle, and Lavender<\/h3>\n

\"Drinks<\/p>\n

Jardin Floral Infusions are one of the most visually attractive items I saw at the show. I mean – look at those pearly swirls! These are meant to be mixed with champagne or spirits as an enhancer, but I can see them going nicely into any clear drink. I tried the Lavender and Honeysuckle. They\u2019re very subtle flavor-wise, which is great because flowers can get overwhelming fast. The bottles are so lovely I\u2019d totally bring them as hostess gifts. <\/p>\n

Available now at specialty grocery and wine stores across the Northeast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
