As should all startup entrepreneurs, Maven Table’s Rachel Wanamaker and Kaleena Goldsworthy-Warnock know who their audience is.
“The home drinker,” Wanamaker says. “Our intent is to help people have elevated cocktails in their own spaces — we like to say it’s the perfect cocktail for the lazy perfectionist.”
Wanamaker and Goldsworthy-Warnock are owners and operating managers of Maven Table, which offers mixers and bitters they say make it possible for one to enjoy, at home, a cocktail that is not only restaurant-quality, but made with healthier ingredients.
“Mixers is kind of like ‘Drinking at Home 101,'” Goldsworthy-Warnock says. “The bitters is like the master’s degree program.”
Wanamaker and Goldsworthy-Warnock say Maven Table is the marriage of businesses they each owned and ran prior to 2023. Wanamaker, a Michigan native who earned an undergraduate degree in nutrition and health from Lee University, had Nourish Point, a vendor of healthy prepared meals.
