Iced Hop Gin
The gin's flavor, created through a infusion of hop and peppermint, is reflected in its visual identity. A frozen hop cone paired with a staring owl captures the crisp, cool essence of the drink. The dominance of mint is echoed in the outer packaging through shades of blue and stylized ice flowers. This cold, clean theme continues in the frosted glass bottle, where a metallic label enhances the icy impression. Subtle frost patterns and snowflake accents are embossed on the surface, reinforcing the fresh theme. Each element supports the gin's refreshing character.
