From Founders to Authors, and From Farm to Glass: Simple Goodness Syrups Founders Announce the Launch of Book ‘Drink Your Garden’

Las Vegas, NV (January 14, 2025) – Simple Goodness Syrups, the farm-to-bottle beverage company and three-time finalist for the Good Food awards, is thrilled to announce the release of Drink Your Garden: Recipes, Stories, and Tips from the Simple Goodness Cocktail Farm (Countryman Press, March 25, 2025.) Written by sisters Venise Cunningham (the farmer) and Belinda Kelly (the bartender) behind the CPG brand, this garden-to-glass handbook blends creativity, sustainability, and nostalgia with more than 100 recipes for alcoholic, low-ABV, and nonalcoholic drinks.

The sisters are on a mission to bring the same care for ingredients and mindful consumption seen in the farm to table trend to the booming beverage industry. Where Drink Your Garden teaches consumers how to DIY healthier imbibing, Simple Goodness Syrups allow consumers to drink with both intention and convenience.

Alongside the book launch, Simple Goodness Syrups is debuting two new nonalcoholic syrup flavors at the Winter Fancy Food Show in Las Vegas on January 19, 2025: Creamsicle and Nordic Coffee. Simple Goodness Syrups are made with family farmed, non-GMO whole foods and are free from artificial additives, extracts and dyes.

Mocktails, sober living, and wellness drinks are part of a $7 billion trend redefining how we drink. But Drink Your Garden goes deeper, offering real ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and a return to hands-on creativity. With a detailed infusion guide, tips for growing drink-worthy plants, and zero-waste techniques, Drink Your Garden is as practical as it is beautiful. The sisters share stories from their Washington farm, inspiring readers to embrace a simpler, more sustainable way of life—one drink at a time.
