Andrew Solis is the rare combination of a strategic thought leader and an efficient executive who matches talent with opportunity to deliver tangible business results. He is known for bridging the gap between ideas and results. His keen sense of curiosity and inquisitiveness, combined with an innate aptitude, has led him to become a self-taught visual artist and work for years in banking and consulting and now set out on a journey to create the world’s best Zero Proof Spirits. Focused on giving anyone, no matter their reason for wanting to consume less alcohol, a unique zero alcohol spirit that mixes seamlessly in their favorite cocktails to reduce or replace the alcohol without sacrificing taste.

With a love of spirits and appreciation for the craftsmanship in making a proper cocktail, Andrew spent nearly two years designing and developing a true zero proof spirit that fools the mind and a brand built on choice, inclusion, celebration, and connection, bringing his work meaning both for himself and his future customers. From the nose, the taste, the mouthfeel, through to the finish, Andrew and his team created everything about a premium spirit, including using all natural ingredients, simply without the alcohol.

Cut Above represents Andrew’s philosophy on most things in life - No matter what the task, strive to make it a “cut above” everything else. Every day he sets out to live this philosophy by example and to build a brand and product line that not only does go a cut above, but also sets the stage for an overall societal greater good is a pretty terrific start.
