DOUBLE DUTCH COFOUNDERS NAMED ON FORBES 30 UNDER 30 LIST

London-based twins Raissa and Joyce de Haas earn category call out in retail and e-commerce

 Double Dutch cofounders Raissa and Joyce de Haas have won a spot on the prestigious Forbes 30 Under 30 list. Hailed as a collection of young risk takers and bold disruptors, the 2019 30 Under 30 Europe list includes the most accomplished entrepreneurs in Europe, with 30 names selected across 10 categories, all identified for their visionary products and new ideas.

The fourth annual 30 Under 30 Europe was officially confirmed yesterday (Tuesday 12 February) with the ringing of the bell to begin trading at the iconic London stock exchange.

As the call out in the category, Double Dutch has gone from university business in 2014 to a global phenomenon, selling 10 million bottles to date in almost two dozen countries worldwide across nine premium flavours – all designed to be mixed with high quality spirits including gin, whiskey, rum and tequila.

“We are really honoured to have earned a spot on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list and to be part of such a globally recognised network. Raising our profile with Forbes is amazing, especially as we are currently raising our third investment round” says Joyce de Haas.

Raissa de Haas adds, “Being recognised alongside such a prestigious list of globally recognised industry leaders is an amazing acknowledgment of all the hard work we and our team have put in to growing Double Dutch.”

As the beverage industry moves towards more premium products and the craft movement in the spirit category gathers pace, Double Dutch stands out as the key challenger brand in the tonic water and mixer category. The London-based label has pioneered a refreshing, healthy and innovative alternative to incumbent brands underpinned by both a genuine founder story and credible expertise.

Double Dutch was the first mixer brand to launch quinine-free tonic, to focus on double paired flavourings for mixers and to use molecular gastronomy for recipe development. With innovation at its core and flavours such as Pomegranate & Basil and Cucumber & Watermelon, Double Dutch epitomises Forbes Magazine editor Randall Lane’s assertion that the 30 Under 30 are game-changers.
