A flavor lab for the curious palate.
We craft extracts, syrups, and tonics that explore what taste can be — curious, layered, and alive. Every batch begins with an idea: what happens when ginger meets smoke, or a root finds balance in citrus and spice?
The lab hums with small wonders — ultrasonic homogenizers, drop funnels, kitchen centrifuges, a slow-turning rotovap — tools that draw flavor from botanicals, herbs, and acids into pure expression. Science and instinct, working side by side.
We care about building drinks that belong to everyone. For those tired of apologizing for not drinking, or settling for the $13 Shirley Temple. Complexity belongs to all of us — non‑alcoholic, bright, bitter, herbal, and beautiful.
Think a ginger‑ale with real bite. A syrup that lives between citrus and bark. Drinks made not in imitation, but in devotion to flavor.
Our first small batches — flavor bases, bottled mixers, and tonics — are being tested, tasted, and tuned here in Durham, NC.
