Building Functional Beverages

At KitchenSync, we specialize in helping functional beverage brands bring their vision to life—from formulation to market launch. Whether it’s adaptogenic blends, CBD-infused spirits, or mineral-rich wellness tonics, we’ve supported brands like Aplos, Cocaki, Evexia, and Pristine Hydro through every phase of development and growth.

Formulation to Production:
Our collaborative process begins at the bench, where we work closely with founders, nutritionists, and functional ingredient suppliers to refine recipes for both efficacy and flavor. From small-batch pilots to full-scale production runs, we provide the space, equipment, and technical support to make it happen.

Creative & Brand Development:
Beyond the liquid, we support brand identity development—crafting packaging, labels, and messaging that align with each brand’s ethos. With in-house design and compliance expertise, we ensure every touchpoint is retail-ready and on-brand.

Content Creation:
With our on-site Creative Suite Studio, we provide brands with professional photography, video content, and digital assets designed to captivate today’s health-conscious consumer and support e-commerce, launch campaigns, and retail outreach.

Distribution Strategy:
We help brands map out their go-to-market strategy—connecting them with retail buyers, brokers, and distribution partners. From boutique wellness shops to large retailers like Erewhon, we’ve helped clients land on shelves and stay there.

Co-Packer & Growth Support:
Through our network of vetted co-packers and partners, we position brands to scale without compromising quality. We assist in bridging the gap between small-batch production and high-volume demand, ensuring smooth transitions as brands grow.

Outcome:
Brands like Evexia, Aplos, Cocaki, and Pristine Hydro emerged from KitchenSync with not only a market-ready product but also a strategic foundation for long-term success. Whether launching into niche retail channels or scaling to meet national demand, each brand benefited from a tailored approach that combined operational excellence with creative execution.

Today, these functional beverage pioneers continue to lead in their respective categories—proving that with the right environment, support, and expertise, beverage innovation can thrive from concept to shelf.
