Worth noting 👇
One of our portfolio companies, Blind Tiger, is currently in a 450-store Whole Foods pilot across the U.S.
For a woman-founded, non-alcoholic cocktail brand, this kind of test is a real milestone — and often the step that precedes national scale.
🎤 Just dropped: my latest @RollingStone Culture Council article:
"Underground, Unapologetic, and Global: Speakeasies Have Never Just Been About Booze"
➡️ https://t.co/XbAlGbjY0z
Long before speakeasies were velvet booths and craft cocktails, they were cultural lifelines — spaces of resistance, refuge, and belonging. And they didn’t just exist in the U.S. From South Africa’s shebeens to Russia’s nalivaykas, underground bars have always told a deeper story:
👉 When people are shut out, they build spaces of their own.
Today’s “sober curious” movement isn’t about abstinence or judgment. It’s about choice. And with that choice comes the responsibility — and opportunity — to make social spaces more inclusive.
One flick of the feather, and poof—we’re back in the Roaring Twenties.✨💃
From modern-day dame to full-on flapper, all it takes is a little Blind Tiger magic.
Because when the cocktails are spirit-free, the style’s gotta bring the spirit. Ready to make your own grand entrance?

Last night was the cat’s pajamas! 🐝✨
Blind Tiger Spirit-Free Cocktails was jazzed to have the amazing opportunity to be featured at the @SaltLakeBees Opening Game AND the grand debut of @theballparkatafs
A tip of the fedora to Maxi McKissen for being a an amazing asset to the team (truly the bee's knees), to Daniel Robinson for bringing us into the fold during what had to be one of the most chaotic nights ever, and to Luis Rivera for helping us navigate it all with grace—and for being such a solid supporter of what we’re building.
We’re beyond grateful for the chance to bring a little speakeasy spirit to Salt Lake, and we’re looking forward to what’s next. 🍸✨
Say hello to the Southside Mojito – a Cuban classic, re-imagined 🌿✨
Refreshing mint, zesty lime, and a clean, spirit-free finish that brings the Havana heat without the hangover. 💃🇨🇺
Zero proof. All the vibe.
Blind Tiger Takes on Colorado! 🚀🍹
This week, we’re hitting the road with our amazing distributor, CTS Distributing, to meet some of the incredible retailers throughout the state bringing Blind Tiger to their shelves. First stops: Clark’s Market and Pete’s!
Clark’s Market has been family-run since 1978, starting in Aspen and growing into multiple locations across Colorado. Pete’s is a family owned neighborhood grocery, flower shop and liquor store.
Huge thanks to CTS for believing in Blind Tiger and helping us bring our spirit-free cocktails to Colorado. More locations to come! #blindtigercocktails #blindtigerspiritfree #colorado

One year ago Blind Tiger officially hit the shelves at all 99 @Wegmans! It’s one thing to earn a spot with such a respected retailer, but staying on those shelves and growing velocity is an entirely different challenge. The journey has been both rewarding and eye-opening as we’ve worked to reach and resonate with their loyal shoppers.
From day one, we’ve been committed to targeting the right consumers. As a bootstrapped startup we started with organic social media and in-store promotions, but in recent weeks, we now have the ability to invest a little more in reaching more people.
Initially launching with bottles, we listened to customer feedback and gratefully - so did Wegmans - allowing us to pivot to our most popular varietals. These changes have been instrumental in connecting with consumers.
But this journey hasn’t been without its challenges and we will continue to tweak and refine as we hopefully continue to grow.
I’m grateful to them for taking a chance on us AND for keeping us on shelf as we continue to refine our strategy.
PLUS starting in January, Blind Tiger Speakeasy Spirits, our low-abv line of canned cocktails (https://t.co/ByYiMv5K2J) will be officially launching with Wegmans Pennsylvania locations.
We’re so grateful for the opportunity to grow alongside them and for the amazing customers who continue support us! It definitely takes a village.
Just before Prohibition took hold, Mader’s Restaurant released a bold advertisement urging folks to stock up on liquor and beer while they still could.

"I think every single sip I’ve had of a Blind Tiger mocktail has been FANTASTIC. They have larger bottles for mixing your own, or these ready-to-drink cans that you only need to pop the top on. (Or, pop the top and then pour to a glass and add a garnish.)- @nonroacholic on IG
