Our Story

Activist Founded

Hamptons Muse was created by Animal Activist, Lobbyist & Hospitality Expert Alexandrea LaFata. 5% of profits are donated to animal causes including shelters, wildlife rescues & advocacy groups. Hamptons Muse products are produced at East End Food, a local non profit.

The Founder

As a lobbyist, Alexandrea collaborated with Voters for Animal Rights on numerous bills, including the bans on foie gras & the sale of guinea pigs. She has also partnered with Planned Parenthood multiple times in Albany, NY, to advocate for women's rights and healthcare access.

Driven by her passion for philanthropy, Alexandrea attends galas and fundraising events that support animal, women’s health & art nonprofits. Alexandrea has directed high profile hospitality venues & owns Vegan Muse.

The Inspiration

Alexandrea excels at creating cocktail menus that feature local produce and philanthropic brands. She crafted syrups for the venues she managed, avoiding regular sugar due to its frequent use of bone char. While overseeing a nightclub in Hoboken, she often visited slaughterhouses in the mornings to sing lullabies & give water to the animals.

Having spent considerable time her entire life in The Hamptons & now residing on Long Island, Alexandrea was inspired to create Hamptons Muse. Each flavor is handcrafted with organic sugar & features a locally grown flower, plant, or mineral.
