Summer Club

What Summer Club does

Summer Club is a Hawaii-owned, female-founded beverage brand producing ready-to-sip wine-based spritzes at 6.4% ABV, marketed as a convenient canned alternative to champagne-based cocktails. The product portfolio consists of four flavored SKUs—Pogmosa (passion fruit, orange, pink guava), Tahitian Spritz (pineapple, lilikoi, vanilla), Lychee Cooler (lychee, pink grapefruit), and Yuzu Fizz (yuzu citrus, ume plum)—plus a curated Mixed Pack, all formulated vegan and gluten-free with real tropical fruit juice and botanicals. The company is co-founded by Jennifer Binney and Larissa Nordyke and headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The commercial model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce powered by Shopify, shipping to 46 US states (excluding AK, UT, MS, and HI due to alcohol shipping regulations) with free shipping on orders of 24 or more cans and a 21+ signature requirement at delivery. A secondary channel is physical retail via a Stockist-powered store locator, and bulk/event inquiries (weddings, parties, store stocking) are handled by email. Marketing is concentrated in organic Instagram lifestyle content and an email newsletter signup on the website. The brand positions itself around the registered Social Bubbles® trademark and Hawaii heritage, targeting adult consumers 21+ seeking convenient, fruit-forward spritz experiences for casual and celebratory occasions.

At roughly 6 employees with no disclosed funding, revenue, or unit volumes, the company is at an early commercialization stage with a single-product-line canned beverage focus and limited marketing infrastructure. The absence of disclosed financials, partnerships, or institutional capital constrains visibility into unit economics, repeat purchase behavior, and channel margin structure.
