ABOUT

The client – The Forge Kitchen – came to us with an idea for a range of pre-made, hand-crafted, bottled cocktails that could be sold direct-to-consumer through the restaurant and also online via an e-commerce website.

While they set about making the drinks and perfecting the recipes, we came up with the brand name – Smith's – and names for the 4 craft cocktails comprising the first batch. We worked with illustrator Jonathan Dukes on the concept for 'Bertram Black' – our steampunk-inspired Gentleman Blacksmith, who would feature prominently on the bottle labels and other print collateral, as well as on the website and across various social media channels.

As well as creating the brand identity, building the e-commerce website and designing the packaging and print collateral, we also oversaw the photoshoot where some amazing product photography was achieved against the backdrop of The Forge's cocktail bar.

We look forward to working with The Forge to develop the Smith's Cocktails brand further as they add more luscious libations to the range!
