If you’ve ever been to a gay or queer-focused bar you’ve probably heard the term Gay Water as slang for the classic vodka soda mixed drink. This slang term dates back to the original Stonewall Inn and has been a staple amongst the queer party scene.
And yet… the vast majority of beverage brands are owned by cis, hetero, middle-aged white men. This lack of meaningful representation opened up a perfect opportunity for a queer-owned and queer-focused ready-to-drink cocktail brand to step into the space. Enter… Gay Water!
Today on PRIDE, Gay Water Founder Spencer Hoddeson is sitting down to give us the rundown on how a queer brand can enter a legacy space and what he hopes Gay Water as a brand can do for the queer community.
