ERIE, Penn.— Blind Tiger Spirit-Free Cocktails is thrilled to announce its most recent partnership with Giant Food broadening its distribution into all 164 locations in Washington, DC, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.
Woman-owned and certified, Blind Tiger Spirit-Free Cocktails offer an authentic taste of the prohibition-era cocktails without the alcohol, using premium high quality, all-natural ingredients. Each of these unique spirit-free concoctions is inspired by classic cocktails from that era.
Blind Tiger came to be during the pandemic, when the founder’s speakeasy was mandated to takeout only. “At the time of the mandate, 90% of our sales were bar sales and in Pennsylvania you weren’t legally allowed to sell alcohol at the time. We either had to pivot or close our doors.” Noted, Founder and CEO Rebecca Styn. One of the alternatives the team developed was bottling non-alcoholic versions of the speakeasy’s classic drinks. “Throughout my travels prior, I had noticed a lack of sophisticated adult alcohol alternatives in bars and restaurants around the country. This became an opportune time to truly explore the impact of creating non-alcoholic options that kept with our brand and the positive response from patrons was truly overwhelming.”
Two of its most popular, and most award-winning varietals – the Bee’s Knees, and Southside – will be available in 16oz bottles in their mixer aisle. Blind Tiger is proud to be the only line of non-alcoholic cocktails and mixers with such a distinctive historical inspiration. Blind Tiger’s mission is to provide a high-quality, educational, and sophisticated spirit-free alternative, creating beverages so good, they should be illegal.
