Local Flavor, Global Impact: Remedy's Recipe
Remedy Cocktail Company was started in the Fall of 2021 by the “Mad Scientist of Flavor,” Ariana Nester, and her husband Rob. Over the last three years they have shown a commitment and passion for great flavor, bringing over 30 different flavors of cocktail bitters to market. You can find them bi-weekly at the Holly Springs Farmers market selling their products and catching up with customers and community, as well as throughout the Triangle at various vendor fairs.
All of Remedy’s products are handcrafted with high quality ingredients in small batches. As a “Got To Be NC” certified company Remedy Cocktail Company prides itself on sourcing as much of its raw ingredients locally as possible.
Remedy Cocktail Company is active in the community, often raising money for the HS Food Cupboard and collaborating with other North Carolina brands. As a second generation Ukrainian American, Ariana has also developed Ukrainian inspired flavors, for which proceeds are donated to World Central Kitchen to help with humanitarian aid.
Ariana is also a board member of We Power Food, a group dedicated to supporting women entrepreneurs in the food industry. She is also a proud member of the Pink Boots Society — which aims to assist, inspire, and encourage women and individuals in the fermented/alcoholic beverage industry.
Remedy Cocktail Company won Indy Week’s Best of the Triangle, — “Best New Business” in 2022 and in 2024 won a Bizzy Award from Wake Tech and a “Best in Taste” award from the North Carolina Specialty Food Association.
