Club-Mate lands on Mallorca: The Berlin cult soft drink now in Müller & Co.

Club-Mate is now on Mallorca — between shampoo and after-sun

Yesterday afternoon, during a quick stop at the Müller on Plaça España, it immediately caught my eye: a row of slim green bottles neatly lined up. No big opening, no Instagram event — more the quiet arrival of a product that seemed ready to become part of our daily routine. For a similar note on everyday purchases, see Why a Sparkling Water Is More Than Just Minerals — Mallorca's Small Everyday Lessons. For some here it’s almost a new café option: a drink with a story, now available by the sea.

Where to find the bottle

The first deliveries landed mainly in drugstores. Stocked shelves were observed in Palma (Müller Nou Levant and Plaça España) as well as in Llucmajor, Capdepera, Santanyí, Son Servera, Manacor, Campos, Inca and Santa Ponsa. The 0.5-liter bottle has a recommended price of around €2.79 — not a bargain, but not a luxury either. A fair price for a first try; with a little ice the bottle is easy to share and good for a short break on the Paseo.

How does Club-Mate taste by the sea?

Club-Mate is not a simple cola substitute. The bitter, tea-like note of the mate leaves mixes with restrained sweetness and carbonation. On the beach, with the sound of the waves and a few seagulls overhead, it works surprisingly well: a cool, slightly earthy aroma that wakes you up — without the instant sugar shock of a classic energy drink. Two young people on the Passeig said, 'Perfect when you need energy but don’t want coffee.'

Why this matters for Mallorca

Why should we care that a Berlin cult soft drink has reached the shelves? Quite simply: variety. Mallorca thrives on these small additions that make everyday life more colorful. For market baristas, for afternoon walkers, for people looking for an alternative to iced tea or lemonade — Club-Mate broadens the range. And one more thing: it shows that the island is not just postcard idyll, but also a test market for new products. It's the same island that also 'turns into a stadium' during Cup Nights in Mallorca.

Small island stories and serving suggestions

At the Müller on Plaça España, an employee named Ana slipped a bottle into my bag with a smile: 'Many tourists ask for it.' At the Santa Catalina market a barista seriously considered mixing Club-Mate into a signature drink with lavender or lemongrass. My tip: serve well chilled, with little ice, maybe a thin lemon slice or a mint leaf. Don’t over-season — the mate note prefers a purist treatment.

Whether Club-Mate will become the island’s new favorite depends on taste, summer heat and afternoons at the harbor, when church bells ring and the lanes smell of sea and sangria.

Worth a try — a cool change against afternoon lethargy, without hipster legends, just with the most important promise: a different taste for the island routine.
