What We Do
Built for Beverage Founders
Our formulation work is designed for founders and growing brands that need a practical path from idea to production-ready liquid. We balance flavor, function, cost, manufacturability, and regulatory considerations from the start.
Concept Alignment
Translate your beverage idea into a clear product brief covering format, flavor direction, sweetener approach, positioning, and target consumer.
Bench Formulation
Develop and refine sample formulas with attention to taste, mouthfeel, ingredient compatibility, and shelf-life considerations.
Ingredient Strategy
Evaluate ingredient options for performance, label goals, sourcing practicality, and target cost of goods before scale-up.
Production Readiness
Prepare your formula for pilot runs and co-packer conversations with documentation and decisions that support commercial execution.
Why It Matters
Formulation That Supports Launch
How Formulation Moves Forward
A clear process helps founders reduce rework and move from concept to production planning with fewer surprises.
01
Discovery Brief
We define beverage type, target audience, functional goals, pack format, and commercial constraints.
02
Formula Development
Initial concepts are developed and refined around flavor, ingredient performance, and target positioning.
A disciplined formulation process helps founders make better product decisions before they commit to scale.
03
Testing Review
We identify stability, compliance, and production considerations that should be addressed before commercialization.
04
Scale-Up Planning
The final direction supports pilot runs, co-packer discussions, and next-step execution.
Beverage Cost Engineering & Reformulation
When you produce up to 1 million cans a week, saving just a fraction of a penny per unit transforms your profit margins. Therefore, our beverage development team specializes in aggressive cost engineering for mass production.
Optimizing Your Recipe for Profit
First, our food scientists tear down your existing formulation. Because we understand commercial economics, we identify expensive boutique ingredients and replace them with functionally identical, scalable alternatives. Consequently, we reduce your cost-of-goods without sacrificing flavor, mouthfeel, or shelf-life stability.
UK HFSS Compliance & Sugar Tax Navigation
Navigating the UK’s High Fat, Salt, and Sugar (HFSS) legislation and the Soft Drinks Industry Levy is complex. Fortunately, our team takes the guesswork out of compliance. Specifically, we reformulate existing products to successfully pass HFSS scoring. As a result, your beverages remain legally eligible for lucrative supermarket checkout and end-of-aisle promotions. Furthermore, we handle all nutritional panel creation to ensure total regulatory compliance before your commercial run begins.
