1. Pisco

"There's no doubt that gin, particularly artisan gins, are continuing to have their moment in the spotlight, however in 2015 its Latin American counterpart Pisco will move to the forefront," says Harvey Nichols. "Leading the craft cocktail scene across London, 2015 will see untapped potential for Pisco as stylish bar goers and more adventurous drinkers are understanding that these are the spirits to be sipped, savoured and seen to be drinking." Try blending with fresh lemon or lime juice for a refreshing Pisco sour cocktail or mix with bitters for a Pisco martini.

"Scandinavian cooking is about the best in quality and service, and with Copenhagen restaurant 'Noma' awarded "the best restaurant in the world" again in 2014; Scandinavian cuisine continues to build momentum in the UK."

"Low in calories and cholesterol free, coconut water was the way to hydrate on the FROW; but with Beyoncé at the helm of the maple water trend; Canada's counterpart is set to take over in 2015," says the retailer. "Maple water is a natural hydration that boasts a subtle hint of maple flavour. It contains 46 naturally occurring vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. This refreshing beverage is naturally low in calories, gluten-free and dairy-free with more manganese than one cup of kale, and half of the sugar found in coconut water."

"Cauliflower is high in fibre, immunity-boosting with vitamin C and vitamin K, known for its anti-inflammatory properties and is already being enjoyed by the fashion elite as low-carb alternatives such as cauliflower couscous or mashed cauliflower."
