The Cocktail Collection by Ketel One enhances the convenience of enjoying classic cocktails like the Espresso Martini and Cosmopolitan, and the convenience-focused lineup is now enhanced with an accessible on-bottle QR code, or AQR.
These ready-to-serve cocktails make it easier for products to be identified and information to be provided to consumers with low vision or blindness. These enhanced QR codes can be detected by leading accessibility apps like as Microsoft Seeing AI, Be My Eyes and Envision. Once a code is scanned, a user's device announces the product category and its physical distance from the user through text-to-speech and enhanced font size. Additionally, the code can detail allergens and provide recipe suggestions.
Ketel One Family Made Vodka is the world's first spirits brand to implement AQR on packaging.
