Beverage Formulation Process

Whether You're Crafting A New Product, Optimizing Production, Or Looking To Expand Your Market Reach, We're Here To Help You Achieve Excellence Through Our Streamlined Process.

Project Brief

It all starts with a conversation. We begin with a collaborative meeting where we dive into your vision and map out the direction for development. Our cross-functional team works together to understand your goals from every angle. Want certified organic ingredients? Want a specific function or flavor profile? We’re here to listen, align, and execute with precision.

Ingredient Sourcing

‍Smart sourcing, guided by your goals. Our team of food scientists search our network of reputable ingredient suppliers to source responsibly and align with your formula’s parameters. From organic and vegan to kosher and non-GMO, we find exactly what your product needs. We also provide insight into trending ingredients and flavor profiles that resonate with your target consumer, helping you stay ahead of the curve and in tune with the market.

Formula Development

With ingredients in hand, it’s time to formulate. Our team gets to work dialing in the right ingredient levels to achieve the flavor, function, and sweetness you’re aiming for. We’ll guide you through the nuances from mouthfeel to efficacy to ensure your product delivers on every front. You’ll have the flexibility to refine your formula until it’s perfected!

Packaging & Production

Production starts with the right foundation. Our first step is choosing the ideal packaging for your beverage, one that fits your formula, processing method, and shelf life. Once the package is selected, we’ll guide you through compatible label types, closure options, and finishing touches to ensure every detail aligns with brand and product needs. With your formula and packaging in place, we’ll identify contract manufacturers that fit your product, location, and production goals.
