We’ve got plenty of great bars and products – both new and established – lined up for 2025 but for our first episode of the year, we wanted to take a moment to look back at a few of our treasured moments of 2024 – including our travels, special anniversaries and favourite bars.

Listen to our brand new episode on your favourite podcast channel or direct right here…

As for what we’re looking forward to in the year ahead, in a word: plenty. Top of our list is heading to Mexico City to check out the recently opened venues from this week’s special guests: husband and wife dream team Maura and Alex Lawrence Milia. 

Listen to the pair sharing their honest thoughts on leaving London for their new lives in Mexico, the highs and lows of working with a partner and what they’ve learned about opening not one but two bars within a month (with another to follow this year). 

Tune in wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts or via the link above.

With thanks to our partners at Cider Mill Press, DeKuyper and Everleaf Drinks.
