Best Real-world Drinks Business Names
If you’ve had a chance to try out our drinks business name generator but you’re still trying to find a name that works, check out these five fantastically named brands. These names are the best real-world drinks business names we can think of that are well-known to the masses. Have a read of why we think they work so well.
Appletiser
This name is a play on the word appetizer and the appletiser brand used this to denote the appetizing nature of the drink while referencing the small bite, hor d’oeuvres used to whet one’s appetite and awaken the taste buds before a meal.
Aside from the snappy wordplay that draws attention to the great taste of the drink, this name also offers us an insight into the flavor of the drink, making it an easy choice for apple lovers.
J2O
Another example of wordplay, J2O references the chemical formula for water (H2O), offering this juice drink up as a fruity and flavorful alternative to water.
In addition to its catchiness, J2O also offers insight, again, into the contents of the drink. The J replaces the H of the chemical formula for water, telling us that this is pure juice.
Sunkist
Invoking images of tropical beaches and turquoise oceans, this play on the phrase ‘sun-kissed’ lets the consumer know that the drinks you’re going to get are fruity, flavorful, and likely tropical.
The slang, speech-like spelling of ‘Sunkist’ makes this brand name feel familiar and draws the consumer towards a product that they know.
Crush
Another fruity, carbonated drink option, Crush denotes a mix of fruits, all crushed together, offering a tasty blend of fruit flavors.
Crush serves the dual purpose of invoking images of crushed and juiced fruit, as well as the powerful symbol of ‘crushing’ one’s goals. A well-thought-out name that evolved with language to become something more.
No. 1 Botanicals
Named for the ‘super-botanicals’ that the brand uses in their beverages, consumers know exactly what to expect from this brand: botanicals!
The brand focuses on the healing power of botanicals and their name shows it. Offering a sophisticated and to-the-point name, the brand name tells you what you’re going to taste before you even drink it.
Unique Content for the Niche
From Coca-Cola to Fanta to Mountain Dew, drink brands’ names roll off our tongue, reminding us of the flavors and experiences of those drinks, and with so many to compete with, coming up with a drinks business name may be more difficult than you think. Even with our drinks business name generator, you may find you’re not hitting the mark with your brand name.
With so many ideas, it may be helpful for you to turn to our soda name generator, or cocktail name generator, depending on your beverage type, and plug in some keywords that describe the flavor and feel of your drink. Drink business names have historically contained nods to both ingredients of the drink and the names of the inventors of the drink, but also use foreign words, slang words, and even references to mythical names.
Drinks names need to conjure images in the minds and tastes on the tongues of consumers, and your brand name can help. Is it manufactured in hot climates, or with botanicals from a particularly famous tree? Use your recipe’s uniqueness to create a memorable and distinctive name.
5-Tips for creating unique Drinks Business name ideas
When you begin using our drinks name generator, you may be going in blind. Below we’ve gathered five fantastic tips for creating a unique drinks business name. Check them out and start using our drinks business name generator to its full potential.
1. Brainstorm, brainstorm and then brainstorm some more
As addressed above, there are lots of words associated with drinks… fizzy, carbonated, soft, alcoholic, cocktail, fruity, smooth. These words are a great starting point but for a really unique name, we need to start thinking about what you’re bringing to the table.
Does your recipe use completely unique ingredients? Have you uncovered a one-of-a-kind blend, or a once-lost herb and used it in your beverage? If yes, use this uniqueness in your name. Brainstorm all of the words associated with your recipe’s individualism and use them to create a distinctive and memorable name.
2. Think about how it rolls off the tongue
You want people to be able to recall your drink brand’s name, tell their friends about it, and speak it in a conversation. It needs to roll off the tongue and be easy enough to pronounce (though something could be said for brands whose names everyone is arguing over the pronunciation of…).
Make sure your drink’s business name isn’t too long and doesn’t contain too many long words. Make it snappy, catchy, and most of all, make it memorable.
3. Ask people
There isn’t anyone better to ask about your drinks brand name than those you want to sell to. Call up your friends, email your colleagues, and get the word out. Ask people about your business name ideas. See how they react, what they associate with your brand name, and how that works with the image of the drinks business you want to create.
4. Check your name out
This seems obvious, but there is no point in using a drinks business name if someone else already has it. Do a quick google search and find out who else is using the name. Check the domain availability too and if you find it’s free, you could be ready to use your drinks business name.
5. Use our drinks business name generator
If you’re really stuck, go back to the drawing board and use our drinks business name generator to find unique and catchy drink business names. For soft beverages, our soda name generator will offer masses of fun and quirky names, and for non-alcoholic cocktails, our cocktail name generator can work with you to find sophisticated and catchy brand names.
