Our Story

Made with Passion.
Crafted with Care.

How It Started

A Gift That Became a Business

In 2016, Shanna Ray started making homemade extracts as gifts for friends and family. What began as a labor of love quickly became something people couldn't stop talking about — the quality, the complexity, the care in every bottle.

By 2024, with encouragement from her husband Shawn, Shanna officially launched Ray Bar Boozy Extracts. Her culinary skills had grown into something truly special, and it was time to share it with the world.

The Inspiration

Belly Up at the Ray-Bar

When Shawn and Shanna host friends and family, guests are invited to "belly up" at their home bar — the Ray-Bar. It's a place where exciting cocktails and mocktails flow, and where Shawn's mixology skills shine.

Shawn became the ultimate R&D partner, testing every bitter, extract, and cube to make sure they complement drinks without overpowering them or creating a syrupy taste. The Ray-Bar is the soul of every product.

What We Stand For

Our Philosophy

🌿

Quality First

Every ingredient is chosen with intention. We believe quality ingredients make all the difference in your glass.

⚖️

Balance Over Everything

Our bitters and cubes are designed to complement, not overpower. Every pour should be perfectly in balance.

🤝

Challenge Accepted

"Challenge accepted" is Shanna's motto. Bring us any idea — a flavor, a cocktail, a pairing — and we'll make it work.
