Al’s Kombucha Cocktails is a bold take on kombucha brewing, with a spiked twist! Infused with premium spirits and fresh, seasonal fruit, each cocktail delivers a refreshing, elevated experience. These cocktails come in two sizes: a 25oz bottle for sharing or an 8oz single-serve option.


The concept for this project came naturally. Over draft kombucha at a local brewery, a friend and I wondered whether kombucha could contain alcohol. Would it still retain its health benefits? Yes! Did such a product already exist? Surprisingly, it didn’t! With an upcoming Form and Function Project in my packaging design class, this idea immediately became exciting. It later became a standout piece in my college portfolio, earning recognition as a crowd favorite.

SIP EASY. SPILL LESS.

Inspired by spice bottles, this design blends form and function for a smarter pour.

INFO

Beyond great taste, the packaging is designed for both form and function. Many cocktails with fruit or ice can be messy—tilting them back often leads to spills. To prevent this, every bottle features a snap-on strainer, ensuring a smooth pour without fruit or ice getting in the way.

LOGO

The logo features a cleverly integrated “K” for kombucha, which also functions as a recognizable standalone icon.

TYPE & COLOR

The high-contrast color palette, anchored in black, reinforces the brand’s sophisticated, adult-focused appeal.
