Sober October Spotlight: Kally
It began with the simple decision to cut back. Co-Founders Katie & Scott Mitic found themselves drinking less alcohol and making their own non-alcoholic drinks. In the quest for the hand-crafted non-alc drinks to be delicious, they discovered the power in verjus, with a little help from a bartender friend in San Francisco.
"Why Verjus? Verjus is shockingly simple, yet remarkably powerful. We make Kally Verjus from just one ingredient: young, tart California grapes that are pressed into a golden liquid. Verjus gives structure to Kally, and helps to balance the acids, tannins and sugars—just like in a great wine. We consider it our playground." -from drinkkally.com
