Wild Folk was built on the idea of challenging the status quo. Back in 2017, Dalia Kohen noticed the increasing demand at her restaurant for non-alcoholic drinks. People were looking for more than just juice or soda as an alternative - they wanted drinks that offered the same complexity and flavour as traditional cocktails.

Inspired by her love of ingredients from the garden and driven by her passion for holistic well-being, Dalia began experimenting and developing her own take on some of the classics. Her botanical beverages made their way onto the menu, and people raved about the way that she captured so much flavour and depth in a nutrient-dense and zero-proof cocktail.

Realizing that there were a lot more people looking for a non-alcoholic cocktail to elevate their social experience, Dalia felt the calling to launch Wild Folk. She developed a unique infusion process to brew these cocktails with a blend of herbs, botanicals and citrus rinds, leading to cocktails packed with flavour and complexity.

Wild Folk made its way onto shelves and menus for the first time in November of 2021. Three years later, you can find Wild Folk in over 150 locations (and counting) throughout Alberta alone!

We're looking forward to expanding Wild Folk and getting our cocktails in glasses all across North America. We believe that drinking together creates connection, and we want to encourage people to embrace the idea of contemporary drinking to create a more inclusive modern drinking culture.

Contemporary drinking celebrates the freedom to choose what fills your glass, while still feeling included and celebrated. We hope you'll join us and embrace the art of contemporary drinking.

After 15 years as founder and hands-on manager of The Coup restaurant, Dalia Kohen quickly recognized a need in the market for convenient, non-alcoholic cocktails and conversations.

Trained as a health-focused vegetarian chef, she spent much of her time turning classic and familiar flavours and recipes into nutrient-dense alternatives.  

Her passion is gardening and foraging.  Her connection to the soil, seasonality, and market demand, bloomed these beverages.
