Design Details

Unique Properties
Each can and drink package features a unique mixed drink recipe, called the Neon Zebra equation. It’s the playful way we explain to our consumers how to make the perfect mixed drink with our product. Each can makes two cocktails, perfectly portioned to share. The garnish images we feature alongside Neon Zebra are simple and easy: a lime slice and some mint add depth. In bold 2D graphics or fun 3D forms, these garnishes help to bring the wild Neon Zebra world to life.
Inspiration
With at-home cocktail culture on the rise throughout 2020, the mixer category saw 28% growth. There was an opportunity to break into the mixer category with a fresh offering and reach a new generation of consumers with different mixology habits. Enter Neon Zebra, an option that consumers can feel confident enjoying on a night in, or bringing to a party, pre-game, or game night.
