Business Idea: A canned ready-to-drink mixed drink brand that rebrands traditionally feminine cocktails with bold, masculine artwork, challenging stereotypes and appealing to men seeking diverse beverage options.
Problem: Men often feel limited to traditional masculine drinks like whiskey or beer, and there’s a lack of appealing, culturally stereotyped mixed drinks tailored for them, limiting choices and engagement.
Solution: Crafting high-quality, flavored canned mixed drinks such as Strawberry Cosmos and Appletinis, presented with masculine branding and design to attract men and normalize drinking a wider variety of cocktails.
Target Audience: Men aged 21-40 who enjoy social drinking, are open to trying new beverages, and are influenced by branding that challenges traditional gender stereotypes.
Monetization: Revenue generated through direct sales via online platforms, retail stores, bars, and events. Additional opportunities include subscriptionBox services and collaborations with lifestyle brands.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Combining modern, masculine branding with popular, traditionally feminine cocktails, disrupting stereotypes similar to how Liquid Death transformed bottled water perception—offering both quality and bold identity.
Launch Strategy: Start with small-batch production of a few flagship flavors, test the market through social media campaigns, pop-up tastings, and online sales. Gather customer feedback, refine branding, and scale distribution gradually.
