Hello,It'sDimi, co-founder and Head of Sales of WEEKEND.

WEEKEND is on a mission to make cocktails more accessible and sustainable behind the bar – whether that’s a commercial one or your own private party. We do this by producing award- winning cocktails (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) that are ready-to-serve in bottles or on-tap from a keg.

Today, we're supplying more than 1,000 on-trade and retail outlets in Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Ireland, Spain and Denmark with 5 cocktails being served every minute.
