I am thrilled to announce that one of my packaging designs has been shortlisted for a Pentaward in the Student Conceptual Work – Beverages category for 2025!
Hopnotic is an eau-de-vie de bière that combines distillation techniques, sustainability and the magic of sisterhood in a bespoke bottle.
This spirit is born under the moonlit sky during the time-consuming nocturnal craft of moonshining. Made from repurposed beer, it brings new life to what was once considered waste: expired and infected brews. Each batch is distilled by a rotating group of women, capturing the essence of female empowerment.
Making Hopnotic is inextricably linked to obtaining a bottle of Hopnotic. Active participation in the distillation process results in your very own bottle of spirit.
Each bottle is an edition and reflects the one-of-a-kind essence of its origin. Adding a personal touch to the bottle and label, as well as adding collectibles from the distilling night is a key element of the packaging. It reflects the unique story of its creation and showcases the story of an unforgettable night.
This herb-infused spirit not only embodies the indomitable spirit of its creators and reflects the magic that unfolds when women come together to create something extraordinary; but also is a versatile base for imaginative cocktail creations. Each bottle comes with a recipe booklet, so enjoy Hopnotic’s enchanting blend. Slàinte!
