Pink grapefruit is having its moment Bright. Juicy Pink grapefruit is having its moment Bright. Juicy. Bitter. Refreshing. It’s popping up across drinks – from sparkling waters and energy to functional beverages and grown-up alcohol-free serves. But grapefruit can be tricky. Too bitter? ❌ Too sharp? ❌ Too artificial? Definitely not. The sweet spot? That juicy, vibrant pink grapefruit hit, balanced with just the right amount of natural bitterness. That’s where we come in. At Lionel Hitchen, we create grapefruit profiles that work in the finished drink – whether you want bright and zesty, juicy and rounded, or something with a more sophisticated bitter edge. Because spotting the trend is one thing. Making it taste brilliant is another. Got a pink grapefruit idea? Let’s make it happen.
What will be the flavours of winter 2026? It migh What will be the flavours of winter 2026? It might only be September, but beverage developers are already looking ahead to the festive season. Christmas classics will always have a place, but seasonal drinks are moving beyond the expected.

At Lionel Hitchen, we’re already looking ahead. Our flavour expertise and global market insight help us spot the opportunities, develop the right profiles and turn seasonal trends into commercially relevant drinks.

Fenugreek… but make it sweet. Think fenugreek is Fenugreek… but make it sweet. Think fenugreek is all curry and savoury spice? Think again. Hidden within fenugreek is sotolon - a naturally occurring aroma compound that can deliver notes of maple, caramel, brown sugar and toasted sweetness. And here’s where it gets interesting: at the right concentration, fenugreek can add rich, rounded sweetness and depth without making a flavour profile taste overtly savoury. 🍁 Maple 🍮 Caramel & toffee 🍫 Chocolate 🔥 Toasted sugar From bakery and confectionery to chocolate and beverages, it’s an unexpected ingredient with serious flavour potential. At Lionel Hitchen, we know how to dial it up, dial it back and find that sweet spot. Got a flavour challenge? Let’s see what fenugreek can do.
𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗬𝗼𝘂, 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗻 🙏 After 11 years with Lionel Hit 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗬𝗼𝘂, 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗻 🙏 After 11 years with Lionel Hitchen, we are saying farewell to our Technical Director, Helen McNair. Helen’s career has taken her across almost every corner of the food industry, from retail and food service to manufacturing. She has worked with products ranging from coleslaw and yoghurts to prawns, tea and flavourings, visited more than 300 manufacturing sites around the world, and even took time out to run her own café. But, as Helen puts it: “𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗛𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗜’𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲, 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗼𝘂𝘀, 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲. 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝟭𝟭 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀.” Helen has certainly played more than a small part in our journey over the years. Her experience, knowledge and contribution have helped shape Lionel Hitchen in many ways. She was instrumental in helping us publish our sustainability report, working alongside Southampton Business School. Sustainability has been a real passion of hers, and her commitment and drive helped bring this important piece of work to life. Thank you, Helen, for everything you have brought to Lionel Hitchen and for the support you have given so many people along the way. We wish you all the very best for the future. You will be greatly missed by the whole team, and will always be part of the Lionel Hitchen family.
