Creating the Perfect Beverage Recipe

Beverage formulation is the process of creating a recipe for a beverage, including determining the ingredients, proportions, and method of production. This process involves a number of factors, including the desired flavor, color, and nutritional content of the beverage, as well as any functional ingredients that may be included.

From Raw Material Selection to formulation Production

The process of beverage formulation typically begins with the selection of raw materials, including ingredients such as flavors, sweeteners, and functional ingredients. The proportions of these ingredients are then determined based on the desired flavor and nutritional profile of the beverage. The method of production, including any processing or packaging steps, is also determined during the formulation process.

Why We Stand Out from a Crowded Field

Our strength is our independence with 100% of our work done at our development facility. We don’t sell ingredients. We are not the sales arm of an ingredient manufacturer or flavor house. We don’t outsource development and most importantly, MetaBrand clients OWN their beverage formulas.

Creating the Right Taste Profile

Our deep knowledge of on-trend flavors and beverages allows us to create the perfect taste profile that will appeal to the right target niche and audience.

From Formulation to Production

As manufacturers, we build formulas that can be produced…the first time. It seems obvious, but it’s not. Too many formulation services and consultants lack manufacturing knowledge. FACT: almost 10% of our business is fixing formulas that are don’t work or are not compliant with FDA or TTB regulations.
