Disclosed are emulsions including an aqueous phase with an emulsifier dissolved in the aqueous phase, an oil phase including oil droplets, and a solid weighting agent encapsulated in the oil droplets. The ratio of the solid weighting agent to the oil phase in the emulsion may be from about 1:5 to about 1:2000. The emulsions may be used with ready-to-drink and liquid concentrate beverages. Methods for making such emulsions are also disclosed.
