Behind the Scenes at Mugly’s Drinks
At Mugly’s Drinks, every blend we create is a labour of love, inspired by our deep passion for Disney and the magical worlds it brings to life. We don’t just make drinks; we craft experiences, transporting you to the heart of your favourite movies with every sip.
Inspiration from the Magical World of Disney
Our journey starts with a spark of inspiration from beloved Disney characters and movies. Whether it’s the warmth of Winnie the Pooh or the thrilling adventures in Monsters, Inc., we strive to capture the essence of these iconic stories in every blend. For example, our "Oh Bother!" hot chocolate is a nod to the honey-loving bear himself, with a delightful blend of Original Hot Chocolate and chocolate-coated honeycomb pieces. Similarly, our "Power Shortage" coffee pays homage to the energy crisis in Monsters, Inc., while also being the perfect pick-me-up for your own power shortages.
From Concept to Cocoa: Crafting the Perfect Blend
Creating a Mugly’s blend is a meticulous process. We start by brainstorming ingredients that resonate with the chosen theme. The goal is always to go beyond a simple drink—our hot chocolates, which we lovingly refer to as ‘Magic Cocoa,’ are designed to immerse you in a world of flavour and nostalgia.
Our ingredients are sourced from trusted suppliers, ensuring top quality in every pouch. Once we have the basics, we take the time to perfect our recipes through extensive taste testing. Each blend is a result of countless tweaks and trials, ensuring that the final product not only tastes magical but also lives up to the story it’s inspired by.
The Magic of Presentation: Packaging with a Purpose
But it’s not just about the taste; the magic continues with our packaging. Every piece of artwork is created in-house, often in collaboration with other small shops like TEEQ. We take pride in designing labels that truly capture the spirit of the Disney inspirations behind each blend. Whether it’s the bold colours or the intricate details, our packaging is meant to be a visual treat that complements the flavour inside.
Once the design is ready, the real work begins. We personally label, date stamp, and pack every pouch, ensuring that each one is perfect before it reaches you. It’s a labor-intensive process, but one that we believe is essential to maintaining the quality and integrity of our products.
One-Man Magic: The Team Behind the Blends
Mugly’s Drinks might be a small operation, but it’s driven by big dreams. Currently, all the magic happens with just one person at the helm, handling everything from blending and packaging to creating artwork and collaborating with others. It’s a full-time passion project that allows us to be nimble, always on the lookout for the next great idea or improvement.
We’re constantly evaluating our offerings, deciding what needs a touch of extra magic, what might need to retire to the Mugly’s graveyard, and what new adventures we can embark on next. With a focus on growing our hot chocolate line, we’re excited about what the future holds.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Mugly’s Drinks
As we continue to evolve, we’re always open to new ideas and collaborations. Whether it’s introducing a new blend or revisiting an old favourite, the goal is always the same: to bring a little more magic into your everyday life. So, what’s next for Mugly’s Drinks? We can’t wait to show you.
