Our Process
A good idea is not enough to build a beverage Brand. Our proven process gives our partners the best chance to succeed.
Build Your Beverage Now
We give you an honest read on your idea, brief, and budget before you spend. You get a clear “go” or “fix” read and a prioritized list of next decisions—so you don’t build a product nobody wants.
WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH:
A clear go/fix read and a prioritized list of next decisions.
A 7-element brief keeps everyone aligned: Consumer target, Flavor benchmark, Functional goals, Format decision, Regulatory bucket, Hard launch date, and Supply chain & COGS targets.
WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH:
A locked brief that every later step references.
Bench work turns your brief into a recipe. We iterate until the taste, stability, and cost align with your launch plan.
WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH:
An approved bench formula.
We prove your formula on a real line. This is where carbonation, fill, headspace, and packaging behavior get locked.
WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH:
A production-locked formula plus pitch-ready hero samples.
Container, closure, and label are designed to be manufacturable. We align on the details that matter for production.
WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH:
A finalized, manufacturable package.
Regulatory category, claims, and labeling are confirmed early. We keep compliance from becoming a late-stage blocker.
WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH:
Compliant labels and a clear regulatory path.
Disclaimer: Final compliance is subject to review by relevant authorities.
Production happens in Edison, NJ. We control blending, fill methods, and supply chain so your first run is consistent.
WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH:
Produced, quality-checked inventory ready to ship.
We support reorders, extensions, and reformulations. You don’t lose your partner after the first run.
WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH:
A partner for every run after the first.
More than a manufacturer—we're your partner through every stage of beverage development and production.
We make the expensive calls early, when they are still cheap to change.
Formulation through manufacturing in one place, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.
We tell you what is risky, even when it is not what you hoped to hear.
