It’s time to relive the 2026 National Restaurant Association Show with the Esrocky Awards. Our first winner earned the title of Most Exciting Beverage. At the Kültee booth presented by Zentis, the pop never stopped. This team shared samples of their Kültee Kaviar™—a popping boba made with all natural juices stored inside a seaweed extracted, ultra-thin skin that leaves no lingering shell or chewiness. They dropped these in drinks such as a Tequila Sunrise with Cherry Boba and a Bloody Mary with Pickle Boba.
