THE SISTERS

MEET KAAT & MARIE

Sisters Marie and Kaat Claessens are the beating heart of The Mocktail Club. Our story started with Marie. When she discovered she had alcohol intolerance at age eighteen, Marie felt this was a minor tragedy at first. But soon she turned it into something positive. In 2015, she started a blog in which she shared recipes and inspiration for original mocktails. She created her first bottle in 2017. Barely one year later, Marie was voted the most promising entrepreneur of the Belgian province of East Flanders. Sister Kaat has been helping her to run the business since 2019. Together they mix and shake with great enthusiasm and passion from the first drop to the very last.

Marie Claessens: “The fact that I am not allowed to drink alcohol myself motivates me all the more to find original and above all delicious combinations. There are very few good alternatives to alcoholic beverages around actually. Those of us who don't drink alcohol quickly end up with soft drinks or a glass of fruit juice in their hands, and that is such a shame. At the same time, we have noticed that the demand for alcohol-free, low-sugar alternatives is rising rapidly. More than ever before, people are consciously trying to stay healthy. We like to respond to that by offering quality, non-alcoholic, healthy aperitifs both to private individuals and the hospitality industry."

Intussen vind je The Mocktail Club terug op de kaart van verschillende (sterren)restaurants, delicatesse zaken, conceptstores en supermarkten. De verschillende ready-to-serve mocktails zijn ook verkrijgbaar via de webshop van The Mocktail Club. Je kan ze kopen in flessen van 1 liter (goed voor 6 servings), met of zonder bijhorende botanicals.

We zijn geen moraalridders die alcohol volledig uit het leven van mensen willen bannen, maar we willen je wel doen beseffen dat je er bewuster mee kan omgaan. Met ons premium alternatief kan je afwisselen zonder het gevoel dat je iets mist. Onze mocktails zijn ready-to-serve, zodat je in geen tijd je lippen aan een lekker en niét-mierzoet drankje kan zetten

Als het op kwaliteit aankomt, doen Marie en Kaat geen enkele toegeving. “We willen voor al onze klanten alleen maar het beste van het beste. Zowel voor de mensen die thuis van onze mocktails willen genieten als in een sterrenrestaurant. Daarom werken we enkel met verfijnde, natuurlijke ingrediënten van de allerhoogste kwaliteit.”

The mocktails are all prepared with fresh fruits, herbs, spices and unrefined sugars. Their own studio is the place where the magic happens. The result: always new, unique and refreshing flavor combinations.

“Currently we have seven different flavours. One by one delicious, non-alcoholic cocktails without artificial colors and flavors or preservatives. In addition, our 100% natural mocktails are also low in calories. They are even completely vegan.”
