Drink Formulation

What Is Drink Formulation?

So, you have an idea for a new beverage you know consumers will enjoy. You’ve penned the concept, researched the market and maybe even secured your source of funding. But how do you turn your beverage idea into a real product people can purchase in stores? It’s time to develop your formula with a formulation expert.

Formulation is a part of the beverage development process that involves converting an idea for a drink into a replicable recipe. Developing a recipe will dial in your drink’s flavor profile by establishing the ingredients and steps necessary for its production. A recipe will enable your co-packer to produce a consistent product from batch to batch.

 

Our Formulation Process

When you choose MyDrink as your beverage formulation company, we’ll start with an initial consultation. During this discussion, we’ll learn the vision you have for your drink and begin brainstorming ways to make it a reality. Our experts will provide logistical insights regarding relative costs, ingredient availability, shelf life considerations and more.

After your consultation, we’ll move your project into development and prototyping. During this time, we’ll collaborate with our flavor partners to establish a baseline taste for your drink. Then, we’ll assess the drink’s stability by analyzing the ingredients for solubility and compatibility. The development and prototyping processes create the ideal sensory profile and establish the details needed for efficient large-scale replication.

As your dedicated formulation partners, we’ll keep working on your beverage composition until you decide it’s perfect. Then, you’ll have a complete formula that’s ready to produce at scale.

 

Composition Concept Development

Here we take the idea for your drink and develop it into a full, market-ready concept. Understanding all the aspects of your beverage project helps us to accurately develop and formulate a commercially viable recipe that will work with your overall business strategy. During this process, we:

• Identify your key needs and requirements for your beverage.
• Project figures for pricing targets, production quantities, and terms.
• Develop a range of potential concepts for your drink based on brainstorming sessions with our experts.
• Work together with you to identify and develop the best concept for your drink.

 

Recipe Development & Beverage Formulation Cost

Once the concept has been confirmed, our team of beverage scientists get to work on developing the recipe for your drink. During this process, we:

• Perform a price analysis, source ingredients, identify cost reduction opportunities, and carry out product analysis.
• Develop initial samples, perform laboratory stability testing, reformulate as necessary, optimize the formula, and deliver samples for you to test and review.
• Produce final samples and deliver your final commercial recipe with estimated end pricing of product ingredients and compound cost.
