Double Dutch Drinks is a range of naturally flavoured drink mixers and soft drinks headquartered in London.[2] As of 2018, Double Dutch tonics and mixers are exported to 24 countries worldwide.[3][4]
History[edit]
The company was founded in 2015 by the Dutch twin sisters Joyce and Raissa de Haas.[5] The company was founded as a result of the sisters winning the most promising startup prize from the University College London for their business plan centered around creating a drink mixer company.[6] The award provided the sisters with a cash investment, a free year of office space and a mentorship which they used to found Double Dutch Drinks.[7] The company released its first products in early 2015.[8]
Double Dutch Drinks was picked as a winner in the retail category at the 2015 Virgin StartUp Foodpreneur Festival, as a result, the founders met with buyers from the Target Corporation in the US to pitch their product to the store.[9][10] In December 2015, it was announced that Double Dutch Drinks had secured a six-month trial at 300 U.S. Target Stores,[11] By year end 2015, the company had also raised £275,000 in additional funding from five private investors.[12] Double Dutch Drinks raised £1.3 million in funding in August 2017.
Double Dutch Drinks produce 9 different tonics and mixers.[3] The range of products includes Indian Tonic Water, Skinny Tonic Water, and Soda Water as well as a variety of flavoured tonics, Ginger Beer, Ginger Ale and Double Lemon.
