Season 1: Mexico Does it Better 🇲🇽

Mexico is world famous for its agave spirits like tequila and mezcal... but Mexican drinks are so much more than that.

This season, we're diving into some of my favorites, including Mexican whisky, gin, craft beer, coffee, and even aperitifs.

By the time we're done, I think you'll agree when I say - everything tastes better in Mexico.

About the Show

You can learn a lot from the comfort of a bar stool… the vibe of the place, the people who are there, the spirits on the menu… they all tell you something. And the good spirits do, too!

Each episode, we’ll travel somewhere new to dive into a local drink that captures the heart and soul of a place, and the people who pour them.

I’ll be sharing my own adventures, and I’ll also be sitting down with bartenders, distillers, and drink enthusiasts from all over the world, hearing their stories and discovering what makes each drink special. From small-batch mezcal in small Oaxacan villages to the London gin brands you've been drinking in G&Ts for years, we're covering it all!

So, whether you’re a cocktail lover, a curious traveler, or just someone who enjoys a good story with your drink, this podcast is for you. And trust me, after hearing some of these backstories, you’ll never order a shot of the crap stuff ever again. 👀
