Ripple In the Press
East Bay Times
“One business owner jumping to the front of the partnering line during the walk doesn’t actually have a brick-and-mortar shop in the Village but will pop up everywhere. Ripple Mocktails owner Julie Ziegler said in a separate interview her catering and event company’s “mocktail” (nonalcoholic) beverages will be offered (along with face painting) at the new City Health clinic and at CRUfit, where Taps & Takeout’s tacos and Drake’s Brewing samples will round out the offerings.
Mocktails are having more than just “a moment,” Ziegler said, adding that awareness of alcohol’s negative health impacts is growing and well supported by scientific research. Underscoring the message with her own history told in her “Breaking up with Booze” blog, Ziegler describes a years-long journey leading to her celebration this past April 7 of one year of sobriety.”
