Meet Marie and Kaat Claessens, the entrepreneurial sisters behind the Belgian, award-winning company The Mocktail Club. Their story began nine years ago with Marie, who, driven by her alcohol intolerance, started experimenting with flavor combinations that are more than just an alternative. Her creations quickly gained a wider audience, from catering and retail to high-end restaurants. Three years later, her sister Kaat joined the adventure.

At the helm of The Mocktail Club, Marie and Kaat navigate a retail world where numbers often speak louder than creativity. As sisters, they share an almost instinctive, unconditional trust and a vision that unites them, though precisely because of this, the line between work and family sometimes blurs. What further defines them as a duo is their contrast: Kaat as the gentle, intuitive force, Marie as the direct, strategic hand.
