Caleño Drinks

Company Profile

Caleño Drinks is a female-founded, B-Corp range of tropical alcohol-free spirits on a mission to bring joy to not drinking! Founded in 2017 by Ellie Webb, Caleño was inspired by her Colombian heritage and a desire to make alcohol-free socialising feel fun, colourful, and full of flavour. We create tropical, Latin-inspired non-alcoholic spirits and ready-to-drink cocktails that capture the energy and warmth of Colombia - including our award-winning “Light & Zesty” and “Dark & Spicy” blends. Proudly certified as a B Corporation, Caleño is committed to operating responsibly and sustainably, focusing on ethical sourcing, low-impact production, and building a positive company culture.

Our story:

Caleño was born out of personal frustration. Founder Ellie was on an alcohol-free night out with friends, getting down to some Latin funk. But something was bugging her. Why should not drinking mean not having fun? She felt uninspired by the non-alcoholic drinks on offer and decided it was time to bring some joy to not drinking. Caleño first came to life in Ellie’s kitchen, but it was 5,000 miles later on a trip back to Colombia when she felt re-inspired by her Latin roots. After soaking up the vibrant colours, tropical flavours, and Latin beats of her family’s homeland, she returned home to bottle it. Fuelled by that Latin positivity, Ellie set out to infuse the sun-drenched flavours of Colombia with her non-alcoholic spirits. The result? Caleño. Non-alcoholic spirits, for anyone, anytime, anywhere. We are now based in Manchester as part of Paragon Brands, who distribute Caleño. We are a small team of 15 who are based across the UK, mainly in the North of England.
