My partner has a non-alcoholic cocktail company, doing events and bottled products. From a diversity and accessibility perspective, he'd love if places that do "beer Fridays" had his stuff for folks who don't drink. Anyone have connections/ideas to help me make that happen? <3 <3

Here we are at the launch of Temperance Cocktails last autumn. Look how cute he is! If you don't like me (understandable), I promise you Haritha is way nicer.

I'm not sure who the right people are to reach out to! So many people with job titles about "Workplace Culture" seem to be in HR? Which is fine, but I don't think HR is stocking the fridges? I have no idea who is, though.

Here is some more info about the company! (This blog post contains the same picture of us as I have already tweeted, I promise we have been photographed together more than once!)

(tl;dr - When we met, Haritha had been a bartender for 10 years. I was -- and still am! -- a lifelong non-drinker. Haritha ditched alcohol and launched Temperance, inspired by hearing about my experiences trying to get good non-alcoholic drinks!)

There is a good interview here! Haritha says lots of smart things.

I thought this was a really crucial perspective (Haritha's words, not mine):

I just made this blog post specifically about the bottled cocktails! Feel free to pass it along to anyone who you think might be interested! Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm!

Dear @ArleneDickinson, please look at all of the (honestly startling) enthusiasm about just these few tweets! I feel like Temperance Cocktails would be a perfect fit for what you are doing with @DVaccelerator. It would be 100% thrilling to get to work with you in any capacity.
