Rachel Marshall

Season 11 · Episode 1

Tuesday, May 25, 2021 • Duration 42:39

Rachel Marshall is the Co-founder and owner of Rachel’s Ginger Beer. After a five-year post-collegiate stint living in the Bavarian Alps, Rachel returned home to Seattle and couldn’t find the kind of ginger beer she’d fallen in love with abroad—bold, acidic, fresh, and not overly sweet. So she got to work perfecting her recipe to share with others. In 2011 Rachel and her partner Adam Peters, founded Rachel’s Ginger Beer. Working in a borrowed kitchen space, they created a beverage meant to play nicely with your favorite spirit—from vodka to tequila to bourbon—but serve you just as well the morning after. The company’s workspace has since turned into a 10,000-square-foot production plant in SoDo, with 6 different locations, and a roster of flavors, parlaying 40 combined years of hospitality experience into their true passion.
