About the Business

SAYSO is reimagining the cocktail and mocktail mixer category with all-natural, low-sugar drink mix sticks that transform water into bar-quality drinks in seconds. Created for consumers who want great-tasting drinks without complicated recipes, excess sugar, or wasteful bottles, SAYSO makes it easy to enjoy a premium cocktail or mocktail anywhere—just pour, stir, and optionally add spirits. Our dehydrated format is lightweight, shelf-stable, and significantly more sustainable than traditional liquid mixers. As more consumers moderate their alcohol consumption, SAYSO exists to make socializing more inclusive, convenient, and sustainable, giving everyone something delicious to drink, with or without alcohol.

Alison Evans

Alison Evans is the co-founder and CEO of SAYSO, a modern cocktail and mocktail mixer brand making it easier to enjoy better drinks, anywhere. Before becoming an entrepreneur, Alison began her career at Macy’s, working across product development and marketing strategy, before earning her MBA from Harvard Business School. It was there that she met her co-founder, and the idea for SAYSO began to take shape. Frustrated by how complicated, sugary, and wasteful making a great cocktail at home could be, they set out to create a better solution. Today, SAYSO’s all-natural, low-sugar mixer sticks transform water into bar-quality cocktails or mocktails in seconds and are sold in major retailers nationwide, online, and on Amazon. As both a founder and a mom, Alison is passionate about building a company that challenges convention—creating products that are more convenient, more sustainable, and designed for the way people drink and socialize today.
