Cask & Kettle produces well-crafted hard coffee and cider cocktails in a pod which offers an easy way to prepare and serve a complete hot cocktail. Everyone’s tastes are covered with cozy flavors like Irish Coffee, Mint Patty, Hot Blonde, or Mexican Coffee and Spiked Cider.Cask & Kettle started thanks to a joke made at an afternoon office meeting in Michigan when co-founders Lucinda Wright and Pete Borozan were in an all-team budget meeting. The group was asked if they would like some coffee and Lucinda quipped only if it included alcohol. That got the creative juices percolating and before long they created a prototype that led to the birth of the company that is now elevating coffee with a variety of spirits for any occasion.On this episode, Lucinda Wright talks about Cask & Kettle's hot cocktails and what it's like to be a woman in leadership in the beverage industry.
