After years of bootlegging for friends, Cy Cain and Casey Richwine knew there must be a better way to enjoy cocktails at home without all the fuss and heavy lifting. In 2018, they co-founded Straightaway, makers of premium ready-to-sip cocktails, and the rest is history. Their bottled and canned cocktails have gone on to win the most prestigious spirit awards, and their new line of house-made amaros, liqueurs, and vermouths has become a favorite with professionals and serious cocktail enthusiasts alike. Host Judiaann Woo talks with Cy about his long-way-round approach to ingredients and and how that standard has contributed to the success of the brand.
