This was very exciting! The Boulder County Business Report did a write-up on us when we launched our site.

Here’s what their staff reporter wrote:

LAFAYETTE – DrunkenRaisins, a home-based company in Lafayette, has begun manufacturing and selling gin-soaked raisins intended to relieve pain from arthritis.

Larry Wright, founder of Lawrence A. Wright Inc., doing business as DrunkenRaisins, said raisins soaked in gin are a well-known home remedy for the alleviation of inflammation pain associated with arthritis. Wright covers the gin-soaked raisins in honey and cinnamon, and calls them golden raisins.

Wright said there is a lack of high-quality empirical research on gin-soaked raisins, but there is a great deal of testimonial evidence showing that golden raisins, juniper berries, cinnamon and honey all demonstrate significant anti-inflammatory activity.

Wright started the company after experiencing pain relief from his homemade gin-soaked raisins. He discovered that “drunken raisins” were not available for purchase, and decided to open his business to share the experience with other arthritis sufferers.

Wright recommends eating 16 to 18 raisins each day for the first couple of weeks, then eating about 8 to 9 raisins each morning.

The gin-soaked raisins are sold in one-pound through 10-pound bags, ranging in price from $24.95 to $179.50, respectively, plus tax. The raisins are sold only on the website, www.drunkenraisins.com.
