The conversation delves into how Fable blends real roots, fruits, herbs and spices to craft complex flavors that redefine the “cocktail” experience without the regrets of a hangover. drinkfable.com+2drinkfable.com+2 With proud Midwestern craftsmanship and a commitment to authenticity, they share how their beverage stands apart in a crowded market of simple seltzers and why the details—from botanical ingredients to dose precision—matter.

David and Kayla speak candidly about the regulatory challenges and opportunities that come with pioneering a federally legal hemp product that delivers subtle, predictable THC + CBD effects.
