Hold the kefir and coconut water, put down the turmeric latte. The biggest trend in health drinks is hemp-based everything.
Health food stores and many supermarkets are now spruiking beverages such as hemp kombucha, hemp milk, hemp juice and hemp coffee. Meanwhile, bottle shops and distillers are dipping their toes into hemp-enhanced gin, vodka, rum and beer. Hemp is basically everywhere at the moment, says Russell Lipton, who launched the Beyond Coconut Water brand in 2010. Last week, independent retailers began stocking Lipton s latest product line, Beyond Hemp – citrus and berry flavoured cans of hemp-infused sparkling water.
Put down the Berocca and hold the extra bacon – a small bar in Newtown is spruiking spirits that could reduce hangover symptoms by more than 300 per cent.
