Finest quality and responsibility

About Us

For all who participate in a diverse, social world.

OUR PROMISE

In a world where rapid growth and consumption are often in focus, we have decided to consume less, but better and more consciously.

Because less can often be more - for us and for our environment.

As an innovative cascara aperitivo startup, we combine finest taste and sustainable sense. Social and ecological responsibility are at the heart of our actions.

We premiumize the spirits market with quality, sustainability and innovation.

For everyone who takes part in a diverse, social world. For everyone who expects more.

OUR VALUES

We combine finest taste with a social sense.

1. Social responsibility

If you do something good for yourself, there is also room to support others.

We obtain cascara from direct trade. We pay attention to ethically correct purchasing prices and pay for a product that was unused before. In this way, we provide coffee farmers with an additional, urgently needed income.

2. Natural quality

LACASCARA® contains no artificial additives (such as artificial colors, acidulants or sweeteners), is free of stabilizers and has low sugar compared to other aperitifs.

With the flavor of fruits, the characteristic bitter-fruity taste unfolds.

3. Ecological awareness

We work with retailers who share our values and our awareness of ecological responsibility.

We pay attention to cascara cultivation without pesticides and without genetically modified organisms, to resource-saving processes and water-saving production.

4. Devoted craftsmanship

We achieve the high quality of our products through handcraft and an innovative, gentle process that we developed ourselves: The bitter-fruity aromas of the ingredients are extracted over a precisely defined period of time.

Made in Germany, the duration, ingredients, quantity, alcohol and sugar amount make the secret recipe of LACASCARA®.

5. Act responsibly

As a member of the spirits association BSI, we are committed to the responsible use of alcohol and support prevention and education campaigns, such as massvoll-geniessen.de

FOUNDER STORY

When Lisah Dietrich and Constantin Müller tried cascara for the first time, they were immediately amazed by its unique taste. The idea of bringing a naturally fruity slightly bitter aperitivo onto the market was born.

This was followed by a development period that lasted over 2 years. Not only the recipe but also an own manufacturing process was developed.

LACASCARA® Aperitivo was launched in the summer of 2022. After the regional success in Mainz and Wiesbaden, newspapers and radio stations reported on the product.

On April 15, 2024, LACASCARA® was presented at a German TV show called "Die Höhle der Löwen". The founders were able to close a deal with Tillman Schulz.
