Walk Into A Bar...
Lauren Butler and Brandon Alpert began their journey into mixology in a most unexpected way—while touring the world as theatre educators, actors, and directors. During their travels, they made it a mission to experience the world’s best bars and cocktails. From bourbon in Kentucky to aquavit in Denmark, they were always thirsty for a bit of local flavor. But when they returned home, they found the mixers and syrups just didn’t measure up—full of artificial ingredients, preservatives. and high fructose corn syrup. Determined to recreate the craft cocktails they’d enjoyed abroad, they began crafting their own mixers using all-natural, locally sourced ingredients from their home in Paso Robles, California.
And so, Yes Cocktail Co. was born. For Lauren and Brandon, it’s all about saying “yes!” to new flavors, new ideas, and of course, new cocktails. After all, that’s the first rule of improv—and the secret to living a little more adventurously.
