Ep 6 Elevate Your Mocktails & Meet the Founders of All The Bitter
If you'd like to take your non-alcoholic cocktails to the next level, this is the episode for you! It was an absolute honor to chat with Carly & Ian Blessing, founders of All The Bitter.
Carly and Ian Blessing met while working together as sommeliers at The French Laundry in the Napa Valley. After having kids, they decided alcohol wasn't in their plan anymore, so they ditched the booze and never looked back. Now they create an award-winning range of flavorful and functional cocktail bitters in Chico, CA, made entirely by hand from organic and wild foraged botanicals, without any alcohol.
Carly & Ian have a heart to serve the non-alcoholic community and give back regularly with their expertise, recommendations & kindness.
This a more extended episode, but if you're interested in elevating your drinks, you'll want to tune in with a pen and paper.
From the show:
- CURRENT FAVORITE NA COCKTAILS

- Carly's current favorite mocktail is anything super easy or in a can (one more reason I love her!)
- TIP & TRICKS
- I was blown away that Carly & Ian had never heard of a tip I learned last fall: mix NA Red Wine & Fresca ... boom, you've got the easiest, most delicious Sangria ever. This Fresca tip comes from my good friend, Jen Page. You're welcome ;-)
