Bittermilk Bottling Co. (Bittermilk), a manufacturer of nonalcoholic beverage products, today announced it is expanding its operations in Charleston County. The company’s $8.2 million investment will reportedly create 12 new jobs.
"We’re proud to continue growing Bittermilk in Charleston County, where our business began and where we’ve built strong roots over the past two decades," said Bittermilk Owner and Co-Founder MariElena Raya. "Being born and raised in Charleston, and growing up in the food and beverage industry here, has given us a deep appreciation for this community. It’s an honor to keep building our future here while continuing to make high-quality, American-made products.”
Founded in 2013, Bittermilk produces various brands of nonalcoholic cocktail mixers and complex syrups. The family-owned and -operated business uses all-natural ingredients to manufacture the products at its current facility in North Charleston.
Bittermilk is relocating to a new 12,000-square-foot facility, located at 5340 Savannah Highway in Ravenel, allowing the company to significantly increase production capacity and continue to meet growing demand.
Operations are expected to be online in summer 2026. Individuals interested in joining the Bittermilk team should contact the company by email at drink@bittermilk.com.
