Listen Later

Are you familiar with an apéritivo? It provides all the flavor and sophistication of a traditional cocktail, without the negative effects of alcohol. This means that everyone can enjoy a drink without the risk of impaired judgment or a hangover the next day.

Figlia is a modern, non-alcoholic aperitivo company helping create moments to remember. In Italy, aperitivo culture is a ritual for people to come together by enjoying conversation over drinks—no special occasion needed. Figlia honors this tradition with all the complexity and flavor but without the alcohol.

Founded in 2020, Figlia was created by Lily Geiger in honor of her late father, who battled alcoholism. This experience led Lily to explore society’s relationship with alcohol as well as her own. Many conversations later, she found that others shared her desire for community without the pressure of consuming alcohol. This inspired Lily’s mission to create an aperitivo that preserves its culinary integrity and fosters community without the negative effects of alcohol.

Figlia was born as a tribute to the power of family—both the given and the chosen—and the value of open conversation to build community.
