In a splash of creativity and resilience, The 5280 Mermaid, LLC is turning adversity into art with the launch of its groundbreaking sustainable beverage infusions. Entrepreneur and former professional model Sarah Clarke Kleinhans founded this vibrant new venture, offering a refreshing twist on mocktails and cocktails. It stands as an inspiring celebration of the strength that enables individuals to rise above life’s adversities.
In 2010, everything changed for Sarah when her young son Addison was diagnosed with leukemia. Battling overwhelming medical hurdles and numerous sleepless nights, her passion for cooking ignited a mission: to deliver joy and healing through naturally delicious drinks. “We built a business from hardship,” she reflects with a sparkle in her eye—a spirit that still energizes every pouch of fruit and herb magic today.
In a delightful twist on tradition, The 5280 Mermaid evolved from selling fragile cocktail infusion kits in glass jars to creating a revolutionary, food-grade muslin bag pouch system. These pouches are not only waterproof and self-sealing to lock in freshness but also thoughtfully designed for the modern, eco-conscious consumer.
With 85% of sales now dedicated to crafting mocktails, the brand has tapped into a growing market of newly sober individuals, pregnant women, health-conscious parents, and even bourbon enthusiasts eager to perfect an Old Fashioned. The pouches still serve those who enjoy both cocktails and mocktails as they are designed to make either option.
Sarah’s colorful career spans over 43 years in the performing arts, having graced stages and runways in 22 countries, with both modeling and the international organization Up With People. Her worldly experiences lend an unmistakable international flair to her endeavors. Her direct philanthropic actions, such as supporting cancer families with free products and forming alliances with nonprofits, have made a significant impact. Her efforts have positioned her as a community leader whose infectious charm and playful energy inspire those around her.
The 5280 Mermaid has made waves in prominent media, with features in USA News, US Insider, and Voyage Denver shining a spotlight on its inspiring and innovative story. This media acclaim not only celebrates the brand’s creative spirit but also highlights Sarah’s journey of turning personal challenges into a beacon of hope and ingenuity.
As Sarah looks ahead, she plans to evolve her business model by moving from the festival circuit to a broader wholesale market. Her vision is to bring her naturally crafted, uplifting infusions into even more homes, all while lightening her load (and her stage tent) as she embarks on a refreshing new chapter in her entrepreneurial journey.
