Barbet was born out of a real need by Katie and Andrea. You see, our co-founder, Katie, has epilepsy. After a lousy seizure in March of 2020, she decided to go 0% ABV. She didn't miss drinking, but she did miss the connection and feeling of inclusivity that came along with it. All the good times when friends came together to share a drink didn't have the same sparkle because the zero-alcohol options at the time lacked the same magic as their alcoholic counterparts. So we came up with a wild idea – to put alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks on a level playing field. To create full-bodied blends that don't shy away from being bold. We realized it wasn't just about creating something better in the can. It was about enhancing the entire experience and inspiring a more intentional drinking culture built around people, places, and memories. We realized that what matters most isn't a liquid's alcoholic payload but its capacity to elevate a mood or moment. That's how Barbet was born. And why we make elevated sparkling water that you can drink straight out of the can or mixed with your favourite spirit, so you don't have to water down life's moments.
