This collaboration aims to fuse Shorty's iconic musical legacy with Mockly's commitment to crafting flavorful, non-alcoholic beverages that resonate with the essence of New Orleans.
A Partnership Rooted in Local Culture
Trombone Shorty, known for his unique blend of funk, soul, and rock, has become a staple in New Orleans’ music scene. His performances, especially at the renowned New Orleans Jazz Fest, and his leading role in Mardi Gras parades solidify his reputation as a cultural icon. On the other hand, Mockly has been raising the bar in the non-alcoholic beverage category since its inception in 2020, delivering drinks that not only taste great but also celebrate the local ethos.
The partnership between these two New Orleans entities sprung from their mutual love for the city’s vibrant culture. Trombone Shorty, who has never consumed alcohol, expressed a desire to support a brand that aligns with his values. ‘I wanted to help share Mockly’s story,’ he revealed. ‘It’s an expression of all that New Orleans embodies.’
Mockly’s Co-Founder, Aimee Sedky, echoed this sentiment, stating, ‘Trombone Shorty is the perfect representation of Mockly’s mission to have fun, no matter what’s in your cup.’ The brand aims to weave itself into the fabric of New Orleans celebrations, and who better to represent that vision than Trombone Shorty?
Crafting an Inclusive Experience
The collaboration between Shorty and Mockly not only emphasizes the magical mix of music and drinks but also seeks to foster an inclusive experience for all. Their goal is clear: to honor the lively spirit of New Orleans by merging the sounds of Shorty’s trombone with the refreshing taste of Mockly’s beverages. This partnership plans to introduce a new way to experience local culture that is open to everyone, whether they choose to drink alcohol or not.
Mockly’s line of beverages includes a variety of flavors, each crafted with high-quality ingredients to create a unique tasting experience devoid of alcohol. Drinks like the Pomegranate Ginger Tonic, Tangerine Basil Elixir, and Blueberry Rose Spritz are quickly becoming favorites in local restaurants and hotels, as well as available nationwide.
