Exploring Life & Business with Shante Pearson of Gemini Elixirs

Today we’d like to introduce you to Shante Pearson.

Hi Shante, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
January 25, 2020, I lost my dad who raised me and was my everything leaving me in between a rock and a hard place in some life situations and I wanted to do something to make him proud and get money as well. So I sat and thought about me and my dad’s favorite pastime which was drinking. From there, GeminiElixirs was born. Me being a Gemini of course and my smart ass cousin gave me the Elixirs part(which I had to Google cause I never even heard it before). I decided to name my 1st Bub Buzz after my dad, from there all my drinks were named after family members. A week after brainstorming, I sold my first drink on February 5 to my coworker and they haven’t stopped seeking Cocktails since.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Nothing about starting a Gemini elixirs was easy. I did not have a clue how to start or even run a business my biggest obstacle was running its a brick walls and not having the correct credentials and knowledge to pursue certain endeavors. Getting my liquor license has been thus far the hardest task in which I am still working on as we speak but I will have them soon.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Gemini elixirs we sell premium cocktails with confused fruits as well as double shots. They can come chilled or slushed. We offer shipping, delivery and we do private events. While doing private events, I also change the labels to wherever is requested. What separates Gemini elixirs from the rest of the adult beverage sellers is my personality and the experience I bring along with the drinks. Also all of my recipes are authentic and no one else have them my drinks cannot be duplicated.

Do you have any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
My favorite childhood memory is my family reunion that took place in 2010 year I graduated. That was the last family reunion where every single family member was present and alive.
