Founded by two women who love a good time but refuse to write off the next day.
We founded TAPER because we love a good time—but refuse to write off the next day.
As outdoor athletes, adventurers, and lifelong socializers, we found ourselves stuck between two extremes: full-strength drinks or not drinking at all. There was nothing for people who simply wanted less.
For Monica, that realization often arrived courtesy of her party-loving alter ego, Stacey—the one doing the worm at weddings and always up for one more round. For both of us, it sparked the same question: why wasn't there a better way to pace ourselves without stepping out of the occasion?
So we created TAPER—a new kind of RTD designed around how people drink, not just what they drink. Low alcohol, real ingredients, and built for people who want to stay social, enjoy the moment, and find a better balance.
Because moderation shouldn't mean missing out.
