There are two options customers can take when it comes to ordering these customized beverages.

Or, customers can go with the larger quantity route and do a fully customized design that involves answering a questionnaire, choosing a beverage type, and writing down a few notes they want the designer to adhere to. Ordering this option, customers can get 36-500 cans delivered with a price starting at around $2.15 per can (including a $95 design fee).
Eliqs is licensed as a brewery and a winery, but the drinks come from 11 different other breweries or wineries all coming from California and are bought wholesale.

In the beginning, Eliqs was solely focused on creating drinks for larger gatherings, like weddings, bachelor and bachelorette parties, event planners, and things of this nature.
However, they have shifted their business model to offer smaller quantities so the everyday person can enjoy their customized drinks.
Now, birthday parties can be taken to a whole new epic level.

The company started off as a graduate business school thesis at UCLA and then was able to raise more than $5.7 million to get the Eliqs off the ground and running.
Fast forward three years later, the company has the foundation built and is now running ads to acquire and keep customers.
One customer they acquired back in May 2022 was the art collective MSCHF who asked Eliqs to make a “holy water-infused” hard seltzer, which they successfully did and the customer loved.
Another customer back in 2020 bought two Hocus Pocus canned wines for resale and the sales they made on those cans went to the New York Restoration Project.
