May 4, 2023: "Buzzing for Sustainability" - After working 15+ years in the beverage industry for household names like Moet Hennessy, Lillet, Bacardi and others, Amanda Victoria is quickly creating her own household name, one canned whiskey cocktail at a time.

Meant to provide convenience and an alternative “low calorie” option in comparison to beer, this Veteran spirits expert quickly realized people were being heavily misinformed about what they were actually drinking. This misconception ultimately drove Amanda to redefine standards for the industry and the need to do better. What happens when frustration meets passion and opportunity? Something buzzworthy!
