The design of Midori bottles has been changed to appeal to drinkers aged 18-29 in the summer months.

The fresh look is part of a brand overhaul which applies to all three flavours in the existing 275ml RTD range: Illusion, Splice and Burst.

The new bottles hit shelves this week.

Australia boasts the second highest per capita consumption of Midori, ahead of New Zealand, the UK, and the US.

“The new design represents slices of Midori’s distinct Japanese melons, the rich and succulent flavour of the yubari melon, and the fresh and vibrant taste of the musk melon,” brand manager Natalie Waser said.

The brand re-vamp is targeted at 18-29 year-olds looking for a drink to suit low energy, relaxed drinking occasions.

Midori is distributed in Australia by Coca-Cola Amatil.

Food & Drink Business

A lot of food and beverage brands look strong when they’re small. They have one product, one pack, one clear idea and then they grow. That’s usually when things start to unravel, not all at once, but quickly enough to matter. The Creative Method founder and creative director, Tony Ibbotson, explains why – and growth is not the problem. 

Victorian-based Aquafab has completed a $620,000 Series A raise through Birchal, supported by over 300 investors. The company told Food & Drink Business that the funds will support continued national growth and plans in place to enter the US and UK markets this year.

Rumin8 is accelerating its methane reducing feed additive commercialisation progress in New Zealand, garnering $4.4 million (US$3 million) in investment as the company prepares to enter the final trial process.
