EP 82: Dry July Just Got Better: Molly Cheraso and Verbena Free Spirited Shoppe

There are many reasons people eliminate alcohol from their diet and lifestyle and the "sober-curious" movement seems to be growing. Those who choose not to drink when socializing are often met with uninspired "mocktails" or simply resort to the old standby, club soda with lime. Molly Cheraso, a former risk management pro turned "dry bar" owner, has just opened Verbena Free Spirited in Hingetown. It's an all day café too, but at 3 pm the bar opens with some of the most creative, inspired N/A drinks you've ever seen. And, she's done the research on the best N/A spirits, mixers, wines and beers so you can purchase to make your own drinks at home. Get the scoop on how Molly was motivated her to make some changes in her own life and what led to her opening Cleveland's first non-alcoholic bar. This episode is made possible with support from Chef Douglas Katz, and The Mohicans.
