Cubist is the first Freezer Vodka of its kind and it was created based on consumer insights that reveal "vodka drinkers prefer vodka ice cold and many store it in their freezer to serve at a more desirable temperature." The first vodka specifically designed to be stored in the freezer features packaging with thermochromic technology that turns the bottle blue at or below zero degrees Celsius. Once the packaging has changed colors, it serves as a clear indicator that the product is the perfect temperature for those who like their vodka cold.
To educate consumers about the unique features of the product, the brand is using QR codes on advertising and point-of-sale materials, which link to a video that shows how the packaging undergoes a transition in the freezer.
