With the assistance of the founders of Harvard Business School, Vanessa Royle and Mariah Hilton Wood, the non-alcoholic beverage company Tilden introduced its first two ready-to-serve drinks. Cucumber, basil, lychee, and a Szechuan pepper finish are all featured in The Lacewing, a fresh and herbaceous expression from Tilden. With American oak, lapsang, tart cherry, and a ginger and cayenne finish, The Tandem is a delicious and sophisticated concoction that is sure to delight all consumers.
"Two years ago, we teamed up to develop better NA options for ourselves, and the growing wave of consumers looking beyond alcohol," said Vanessa Royle, co-founder and CEO of Tilden. "This first launch is the culmination of all that work, and it’s been amazing to see how people are responding to our cocktails."
