Dry Soda

Dry Soda’s CEO Sharelle Klaus is one of the godmothers of female-owned businesses in Seattle. She has four children and by personality, she's a really gregarious, fun loving woman. She was tired of feeling left out from the alcohol scene while she was making these babies, so she did something about it and created these amazing sodas. People do use them as mixers for cocktails, or you can make beautiful mocktails with them, or just kind of drink them on their own. The company has really endured—it's 15+ years old. They've been a pillar for a lot of us in terms of being a role model and a source of encouragement and advice. And Sharelle, just on a personal level, is very giving with her time and advice.
