The Story

It all started during the pandemic, when Greg began developing his home bar and curating craft cocktails for friends. This led to a desire to own a booze truck called “Tafya”.

Tafya — meaning alcohol in Haitian creole — would pay homage to Greg’s Haitian roots, incorporate his love of making cocktails, and would specialize in making Haitian-inspired drinks for pickup or delivery. However, after some initial research into buying a truck and starting Tafya, Greg’s dream seemed unreachable.

However, after a swift pivot the creation of the trendy name, logo, and tagline launched BOTL'D with its Season 1 Tastes in January 2021.

It's been a rollercoaster, but BOTL'D is a labor of resilience and legacy-building.
