What goes into the can

Your caffeine, your flavor, your sugar target.

Every energy drink starts with a brief: who drinks it, when, and what it should taste like. The food scientists then pick the caffeine source, the functional ingredients and the sweetener system, and build the first sample around them.

You taste it, give notes, and the team refines taste, texture and stability for up to three rounds. The approved formula is production-ready and yours outright.

  • Caffeine from coffee, tea, yerba mate or synthetic sources
  • Taurine, B vitamins, nootropics and adaptogens
  • Zero, reduced or full sugar systems
  • Organic, Non-GMO, Kosher and gluten-free sourcing

How it works

How an energy drink gets made.

Five stages, one in-house team, about 60 to 90 days.

01 · Brief and sourcing

Your idea, your guardrails

A kickoff call sets the target customer, flavor, function, calorie ceiling and certifications. Food scientists then source every ingredient from respected U.S. suppliers.

02 · Formulation

Up to three rounds

The lab builds the first sample from the brief, you taste it, and the team refines taste, texture and stability until you approve.

03 · Design

Label and packaging

Logo and label concepts over three rounds, then layflat artwork and print-ready files.

04 · Production

Co-packer sourcing

Packaging matched to the formula, then a co-packer shortlist with costs, lead times and MOQs.
