Barbet was founded by Toronto sisters Katie Fielding and Andrea Grand after Katie chose to cut alcohol from her diet but struggled to find a drink that wasn’t overly sugary or stuck with juvenile branding. Together, they created Barbet—an inclusive brand that aims to eliminate the question of ‘why aren’t you drinking?’ and replace it with ‘what are you drinking?’ Barbet’s newest creation, Deep Dive, blends juicy white peach, zesty yuzu, and a hint of mint for a refreshing, aromatic sip.
