Sip, Sparkle, Soirée: Margaret Josephs Brings the Party to Your Fridge
If there’s one thing Margaret Josephs knows how to do—besides light up a room and dominate a reunion couch—it’s build a brand that doesn’t just follow trends but creates them. The ever-iconic Real Housewives of New Jersey star, entrepreneur, and this month’s BELLA cover star, is taking her signature blend of fun, style, and fearless ambition into a new arena: the beverage aisle.
Alongside her powerhouse best friend and business partner, Lexi Barbuto, Josephs has launched Drink Soirée—a bold, bubbly non-alcoholic beverage brand that dares to say: everyone deserves a seat (and a sip) at the party.
A Drink That Doesn’t Divide
At its core, Soirée is more than just a sparkling drink, it’s a celebration of inclusivity. Margaret and Lexi set out to create a line that bridges the gap between drinkers and non-drinkers alike, inviting everyone to join the fun without compromising on taste or style.
“Non-drinkers have been left out of the party for too long,” says Josephs. “We’re freeing people from the iced tea corner and giving them something fabulous to sip.”
The Flavors, The Flair
Soirée’s four signature mocktails are lightly sparkling, layered with natural flavor, and crafted to sip solo or spike as you please:
Coco Colada: Pineapple, coconut, lemongrass, ginger
Teajito: Watermelon, basil, chamomile, mint
Cool Breeze: Cucumber, elderflower, lychee, mint
Marge-a-Rita: Passionfruit, guava, rose
Each can is vegan, kosher, gluten-free, under 45 calories, and made with real juice—proof that clean and delicious can coexist.
“It’s about joy in every sip,” says Barbuto.
Soirée Your Way
Whether you're a master mixologist or just want something effortless and elevated, Soirée delivers. With Soirée, every gathering is a chance to raise your can to good, clean fun—no hangovers required.
“Life is a party, and everyone’s invited,” Lexi adds. “So, we made a drink that reflects that.”
From Housewives to Heavy Hitters
With this new venture, Margaret and Lexi are proving once again that entrepreneurship is about vision, values, and voice. It’s about creating something that reflects who you are—and inviting others to join you on the journey. And if their track record is any indication, Soirée isn’t just another pretty can. It’s a movement.
Sip. Sparkle. Soirée. The party has officially started. Follow on Instagram @drinksoiree and visit DrinkSoirée.com.
