SHOW QUOTES
“Our friends would bring like a really beautiful bottle, like a premium bottle of spirit, but we would make the mixes and soft drinks, and so our friends called us the Tonic Twins.”

“I think we visited 120 accounts or something before someone said, ‘Okay, I'll buy one case’.”

============
SHOW NOTES
Raissa & Joyce De Haas are the twin power behind Double Dutch Mixers & Tonics. In this episode, we go right back to the beginning, from watching their parents host tasting parties for over a hundred guests in their annexed greenhouse distillery to knocking on 120 doors before making their first sales of Double Dutch.

It’s quite a journey, and they’re taking women everywhere with them as they scale their brand to be a partner in arms for females in hospitality everywhere, all the while ensuring that whatever is in your glass, their mixers give it the respect it deserves.
