Mother-Daughter Duo's Beverage Business Exceeds $500,000 in Revenue

Mother-daughter duo Sosy and Grace Hachigian established MODA Mocktails in 2025, generating over $500,000 in revenue within their first year of operation. The company was founded in response to a perceived lack of non-alcoholic beverage options that met their criteria for clean ingredients, bold flavors, and accessible pricing.

Grace Hachigian, who previously worked as an associate brand manager at Nestlé, applied her experience in brand building and consumer marketing to the development of MODA Mocktails. The venture aims to provide a sophisticated alternative to existing non-alcoholic options, which they found often contained excessive sugar or lacked significant flavor.

The co-founders have personally invested over $500,000 into the business, covering product development, packaging, marketing, and distribution efforts. MODA Mocktails has secured WBENC certification as a women-owned business, which has provided access to valuable resources and networking opportunities that have supported the company's growth.

Challenges faced by the company include managing complex logistics and manufacturing processes. One notable incident involved a shipment freezing in transit during severe winter weather, necessitating a rapid response to replace the order and adjust their launch timeline.

MODA Mocktails projects a revenue range of $3 million to $5 million by 2027, highlighting the complexities and behind-the-scenes operations required to scale a beverage brand effectively.
