Ghia is a drink brand that isn’t trying to be beer, wine, or spirits — and definitely not a “mocktail.” It’s bitter, bold, and built for people who want a drink that doesn’t play it safe.
Today, Eli talks with Ghia founder Mélanie Masarin about building a culinary inspired non-alcoholic option that’s not about sobriety, but about choice, occasion, and great flavors. We get into what makes Ghia different, how Mélanie’s multinational upbringing shaped the philosophy of the brand, and why she walked away from a Shark Tank deal without blinking.
