Production Technology
The product will be available in select stores and outlets of the brand itself as the cocktails are made by hand and in batches overseen by professional mixologists.
The "Pure spirits" and "Cocktails" both are available in 200ml small glass bottles. Only "Cocktails" are available in big 750ml bottles.
Design Challenge
The hardest part was finding a middle ground between these two Local and Global culture and developing a visual language which will appeal the target audience as it is a premium product but still looks like its a local brand.
The Nomenclature was also difficult to finalise as there were many options and none of them gave the exact Phoneasthetic that was required to appeal to the customers.
Research
Type of Research-Study of existing brands, their offerings and USP's
Research Objective-To understand the market scenario, needs of customers and what are the fields where we can provide a better product.
Methodology-One on one interview, surveys and questionnaires.
Data Collection and Research Tools-Online forms, Group and solo interviews, S.W.O.T analysis and competitor study.
Insights-The target audience wants something that binds both ends of alcohol consumption which are premium cocktails and locally produced spirits.
Effect of research on Design-The research provided a very precise direction to work in which is that the design should be a fusion of both the cultures but as the target audience is in India it should be vibrant, artistic and should have that classic appeal to it.
Inspiration
Many brands sell ready to drink cocktails but no one has ever tried to sell pre-packed cocktails made with local Indian spirits. Indian spirits have a very unique story and taste to it. And the alcohol content in them is high so they can also give you a nice buzz.
Abhijeet wanted to design a brand which did so and by giving it a fusion feel mixing Global and Local creating "Glocal" vibe around the brand.
The brand has a Bohemian look and feel to it as the target audience is looking for a multi-sensorial experience.
Project Duration
The project started on 14 august 2019 and ended on 22 September 2019.
this project was done at MIT Institute of Design, Pune, India.
Operation Flow
The overall packaging of the product attracts the customer as no one has ever tried a cocktail made from Indian spirit so they will be interested.
The product use is as simple as open the bottle pour in a glass or consume from the bottle.
