On the Rocks, the alcohol brand founded in 2015 by Patrick Halbert, Andrew Gill, and Rocco Milano, offers a range of ready-to-drink cocktails in glass and PET bottles in sizes 375mL, 200mL, and 100mL. The brand boasts various beverages including the Margarita, Jalapeno Pineapple Margarita, the Cosmopolitan, the Mai Tai, the Aviation, and the Old Fashioned – all of which boast a minimalist and demure aesthetic.
On the Rocks worked with Berlin Packaging and their Studio One Eleven design team to create a portfolio of custom bottles. Studio One Eleven drew inspiration from "traditional spirits silhouettes when designing the sleek, round-shouldered bottle with a long neck."
On the Rocks is now available in both the US and Canada.
