Imagine having to give up alcohol to manage migraines, only to find yourself missing out on the social aspect of drinking. That’s exactly what happened to Talia Bennick, founder of Crisp & Crude. In this episode of 'Recovery Rocks', hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara chat with Talia about her journey to sobriety and her passion for creating zero-proof cocktails that don’t compromise on flavor or experience.
Talia shares how her personal health journey led her to the world of non-alcoholic beverages. Frustrated by the lack of sophisticated alcohol-free options, she decided to take matters into her own hands. She developed four unique flavors, each infused with mood-boosting botanical extracts and some even featuring CBD. These drinks aren't just about avoiding alcohol; they're about enjoying a complex and enjoyable sipping experience. The conversation also touches on the broader implications of normalizing alcohol-free choices in social settings.
Talia discusses the challenges she faced in getting her products into bars and restaurants, as well as the triumphs of seeing more inclusive drink menus. Her story is a testament to the growing demand for high-quality, non-alcoholic options and the importance of making these choices available to everyone. And it’s not all business talk—there’s a fun segment where they pair each Crisp & Crude flavor with a song, including some Beyoncé hits.
Whether you’re sober, sober-curious, or just looking for a delicious non-alcoholic option, this episode offers plenty of inspiration and practical advice.
