After a girls’ weekend inspired her to create a more inclusive drinking experience, Laura Taylor launched Mingle Mocktails in 2017, turning a side hustle into a thriving business that generated $250,000 in sales within its first 18 months. Today, Mingle has grown into an eight-figure brand sold in more than 15,000 retail locations, becoming Total Wine’s top-selling nonalcoholic beverage brand and demonstrating the power of entrepreneurship, perseverance, and recognizing an untapped market opportunity.
