Eric: Folks are amazed at the fact I don't drink. They often exclaim "wait, but you're opening a distillery?" I then go into a diatribe about how I like the science and alchemy behind distilling and mixing cocktails. Sure, alcohol may be a "social lubricant', but so is simply being a part of the scene... while holding a beverage. The camaraderie we all feel in bars, clubs or at festivals when sipping a drink is genuine. It's a starting point for conversation and it's a way to broaden our own palate for what we may, or sometimes, may not like. At Broken Glass I'd like to offer NA (non-alcoholic) options for cocktails along with the alcoholic ones. Being a non-drinker is part of my story and who I am. I'm sure there's others out there that will appreciate the opportunity to enjoy a well made mocktail in an inclusive setting.
