Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Hive Juicery in Leeds wanted to expand its cold drink range beyond its own juices to capture the afternoon 'energy' market, without compromising on its health-focused ethos.
"Our customers are savvy; they read labels. The Virtue drinks flew out of the fridge from day one because they tick all the boxes: natural, no sugar, and a great taste. The strawberry and lime is a standout favourite."
Ben Carter – Owner, The Hive Juicery
The yerba mate strawberry lime case became one of their top 3 best-selling third-party drinks, increasing overall cold drink sales by over 20% in the first quarter.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Storing It Right
- Store cases in a cool, dry storeroom away from direct sunlight.
- Practise 'First In, First Out' (FIFO) stock rotation to ensure freshness.
- Once a can is opened, it should be consumed promptly for the best taste.
- Check 'best before' dates upon delivery to manage your inventory effectively.
Serving It Perfectly
- For maximum refreshment, chill thoroughly in a display fridge to 3-5°C before serving.
- Serve straight from the can or pour over ice in a glass with a fresh strawberry or lime wedge.
- Position cans at customer eye-level in your chiller to maximise visibility and grab-and-go sales.
- Mention it as a 'healthy energy alternative' to customers asking for recommendations.

It’s made from the leaves of a native holly tree, traditionally brewed and shared among friends. It's celebrated for its natural caffeine content and a rich supply of vitamins and antioxidants.
