Chef tips
When it comes to the ever-growing non-alcoholic beverage market, it’s important to give customers what they want as well as pleasant surprises they don’t expect. Here are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind as you explore all the menu possibilities provided by your Conagra Foodservice team.
INTERNATIONAL INSPIRATION. Take guests on a global flavor journey they won’t soon forget. For example, put a Filipino twist on the chocolate martini by infusing J. Hungerford Smith® Freeflo Chocolate Shake Base with ube syrup. Finish with Reddi-wip® Real Cream Whipped Topping and drizzles of ube syrup and J. Hungerford Smith® Fulflavor® Chocolate Fountain & Shake Syrup.
MOCKTAILS 2.0. Fermented ingredients, vinegars and savory flavors can deliver the excitement that today’s consumers crave from their mocktails. Level up your offering with an escabeche brine. Combine with lime and orange juices over ice and top with J. Hungerford Smith® Blueberry Topping for a take on the spicy margarita that delivers a vivid sensory experience.
FOREVER NOSTALGIA. Create a blast from the past by turning a customer-favorite childhood treat—the fudge pop—into a drink. Blend ice, milk and a packet of Swiss Miss® Classic Hot Chocolate with a little cinnamon and cayenne. Then, finish it off with a dollop of toasted J. Hungerford Smith® Marshmallow Concentrate Topping.
STAND OUT IN THE BEST WAY. Bring the “wow” factor to your menu with a photo-worthy firecracker milkshake using J. Hungerford Smith® Fiesta Strawberry Purée, Blueberry Topping and Vanilla Fountain & Shake Base. Top with Reddi-wip® Real Cream Whipped Topping, skewers of fresh fruit and festive sprinkles and serve tableside with two glowing sparklers.
ALL-DAY COFFEE. Consumers are always looking for that comforting flavor of coffee regardless of what time it is. Give them exactly what they want by whipping up a malted coffee milkshake using J. Hungerford Smith® Liquid Malt Fountain & Shake Syrup and finishing with a dollop of Reddi-wip® Real Cream Whipped Topping.
ALL OF THE FLAVOR. None of the alcohol.
Turn heads with your menu by featuring creative non-alcoholic beverages made easy using convenient Conagra Foodservice products.

Operator spotlight
Whether you have an eclectic and extensive menu or you’re a bar that specializes in something specific like gin, you can curate an incredible non-alcoholic menu in a thoughtful way that stays true to your operation while serving the needs of a variety of customers. Here are a few of our favorite examples to help inspire you.
UPSTAIRS, NEW YORK CITY With an eclectic array of small plate offerings, Upstairs also offers a sumptuous list of specialty beverages like The Blossom: alcohol-free citrus spirits, blood orange and lemon flavors paired up with the citrusy scents of orange oil and mandarin pith and subtle hints of ginger and lemongrass.
SUMMER HOUSE SANTA MONICA, CHICAGO Priding itself as the place where summer never ends, it’s only fitting that Summer House Santa Monica features a mocktail like the Pineapple Kick made with pineapple, orange juice and freshly cut jalapeño for that alcohol-like sensory response without the buzz.
GOAT & RABBIT, KANSAS CITY You’ll find intricate craftsmanship and artistry in every one of the beverages poured at the Goat & Rabbit, along with some fun names. The Pulp Friction, for example, is made with passion fruit purée, guava-hibiscus nectar and orange and lime juices, topped with orange blossom foam and a bit of nutmeg.
GHOST NOTE COFFEE, SEATTLE A mix of delicate flavors can be found in every signature drink from this award-winning coffee shop, serving as inspiration for a range of non-alcoholic beverages. The London Smog, for example, features pine-smoked black tea, chai-spiced honey and steamed oat milk.
