Our Story

I grew up in Westchester county in the cocktail era. My parents loved to entertain (i.e. drink). So much so that the centerpiece of our newly renovated family room, circa 1980, was a custom designed bar. This masterpiece had wine bottles formed into lights, a mirrored back, a large capacity ice machine and a bevy of glassware. This was a glorious era! It was a time of Harvey Wallbanger’s, Crème de Menthe cocktails and the liquor store delivered (the latter of which still makes me swoon). By age 6, I was able to make a Manhattan and a solid straight up Martini.

I was going places. Life led me to Lehigh University (ironically a known party school) and to my husband, Andrew. We eventually married and now have 4 wonderful children (12, 10, 8 and 3). Oddly, there has been a direct correlation in that as our family has increased in numbers so has our cocktail consumption. But, I was very picky about the quality of my cocktail. It has always been important to me to eat healthy, all natural and Organic—best I can.

So why should I not choose cocktails made the same way? We live in a suburban area with little options to get a quality cocktail and the chance of getting a sitter was slim. So, I started to make my own cocktails so I could control the quality. When I met Diane (a funny story in and of itself which we will be happy to tell you over cocktails) I found a kindred spirit in many ways. She was in the same spot of not being able to get out to restaurants but still wanting fresh, natural non syrupy-high fructosey cocktails. Together, we have spent hours and hours doing research and development to bring our creations to all that crave a wonderful, natural cocktail!
