Grace Venus

For over 25 years, Grace Venus has been the driving force behind non-alcoholic beverage brands. Notable projects include collaborations with Seven Teas, Purity Organic, Mamma Chia, Clean Cause, and many others. Her focus centers on clean-label, organic, and functional ingredients.

In 2013, Grace and her husband Sean founded Venus Spirits, a Santa Cruz distillery and venturing into alcohol product development. In 2018, they launched a canned cocktail line and expanded to Venus Spirits Cocktails and Kitchen, now two thriving restaurants.

Grace still devotes most of her time to clients under Venus Research and Development. And her extensive knowledge also manifests in many recipes served at Venus Spirits, spanning from tonics, ginger beers, amaros, liqueurs, to non-alcoholic cocktails like her signature Non Alc NoGroni.

This dedication brought her back to a focus on non-alcoholic formulas and especially non alc cocktails and spirits and eventually evolving into Venus Spirited Solutions. Grace has collaborated with suppliers and flavor chemists and found a trusted partner in Brookside Flavors to manufacture this comprehensive ingredient library. VSS ensures the right solutions for your company and brand in this new cocktail era, whether it is no proof, low proof, high proof… or somewhere in between.
