A Day in the Life of Our Founder, Andrew Solis

Ever wondered what a day looks like for the man behind Cut Above? Andrew Solis wears many hats—entrepreneur, family man, and cocktail innovator—all in a single day. Here’s a peek inside his daily routine:

Morning Routine

Andrew starts his day like many of us: with a strong cup of coffee in hand. A quick glance at his phone gives him a sense of any early emails or urgent matters that need attention. From there, he gets ready for the day—dressing casually if it’s a warehouse-focused day or more polished if video calls are on the agenda.

The Hustle Begins

After dropping the kids off at school, it’s time to head to the warehouse, where the real work begins. First up? A review of orders and prioritizing the must-dos for the day. From there, no two days look exactly the same. His tasks can include:

• Moving pallets and managing inventory

• Recording a podcast or doing an interview

• Hosting training calls for Cut Above retailers

• Reviewing the company’s finances for the month

• Reaching out to potential new distributors

• Developing fresh, alcohol-free cocktails

• Planning upcoming events

• Tackling any unexpected challenges that come his way

Evening Wind-Down

By late afternoon, Andrew wraps up at the warehouse and heads home. Evenings are reserved for cooking dinner and spending quality time with his family. But before calling it a night, he and co-founder, Blanca, take a moment to reflect on the day, checking in on anything that needs attention. One last glance at emails, and then—it’s lights out.

Being a founder isn’t just a job; it’s a lifestyle. And for Andrew, every day is a blend of hard work, passion, and balance—just like the perfect cocktail.

The Founder’s Grind

Running a business like Cut Above takes dedication, flexibility, and a passion for the craft. Andrew’s days are packed with problem-solving, creativity, and plenty of behind-the-scenes work to keep things moving. But at the core of it all is his commitment—to his family, his team, and the mission of bringing great alcohol-free spirits to the world. It’s a nonstop hustle, but for Andrew, it’s all worth it.

And at the end of the day, it’s all about creating something you’ll love. So whether you’re new to Cut Above or a longtime fan, we invite you to pour yourself a glass, mix up a cocktail, and enjoy the spirit of something different. Cheers to cutting above the ordinary!
