Before Dry Atlas, co-founders Douglas and Victoria Watters built Spirited Away, America’s first non-alcoholic bottle shop, in New York in 2020. It drew millions of views on TikTok, earned coverage in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Vogue, and ran for five years before its acquisition. Selling these drinks across the counter, and working with the brands that made them, is where they learned the category from the shelf up. Today Dry Atlas covers one market in depth: the U.S.
