Amidst a thriving tech career with industry giants like Accenture and IBM, Laura was quietly fighting a personal battle with alcoholism. Determined to quit alcohol for good, she faced a new challenge: finding a delicious non-alcoholic drink at social events. This struggle often left her feeling uncomfortable and out of place. Realizing she wasn't alone in this, Laura created Mingle Mocktails—a vibrant line of fun and flirty mocktails designed to shatter the stigma and isolation of abstaining from alcohol, no matter the reason. Crafted to taste great, Mingle Mocktails reimagines your favorite cocktail flavors with zero alcohol and fewer calories. Since 2017, Laura has grown Mingle Mocktails into the fastest-growing non-alcoholic spirits brand in the industry. 

In this episode, Laura also discusses:

• Building Mingle from the ground up
• How the health and wellness movement promoted the desire for better for you replacements
• Helping to build the category of adult non-alcoholic beverages
• Expanding into the nation’s top retailers including Whole Foods, Target, CVS, etc
• The social impact of abstaining from alcohol and how young people are at the forefront
• Their organic partnership with Bethenny Frankel
