A (green) fairy tale — Drinksbiz Magazine — New Zealand's Premier Drinks Magazine One of the world’s most infamous spirits – absinthe – is flying high once again in the UK, says Sarah Miller ...

When the rest of the world was banning absinthe at the beginning of the 20th century the UK didn't bother. But we almost did at the turn of the 21st century!

My latest column for Drinksbiz is out now and it's all about the green fairy: tinyurl.com/346xpvvf

Absolutely - Rose is brilliant! Tempted by Level 3 but don’t think the timing is right at the moment

I’ve never put more effort into getting a pin, but it was definitely worth it!

WSET Level 2 Award in Spirits achievement unlocked!

Thank you to Rose Brookman at The Mixing Class for all your help and support.

Given it’s a New Year, I thought I’d throw out an overdue (re)introduction.

Despite never envisaging this as a career, I’ve come a pretty long way in the last 10 years.

So with 2025 ahead I’m going to continue to make the most of the opportunities that come my way. It’s worked so far after all!

December was pleasingly peaceful in a professional sense, leaving me plenty of time to get on with everything that a family Christmas demands, but there’s still plenty to read about including a very honest review of Miracle at Henrietta so what are you waiting for…?

BrewDog in epic forest fail BrewDog CEO James Watt has confirmed that almost 100,000 saplings planted by the brewer in Scotland to sequester carbon have withered and died.

MCC cites @brewdogofficial.bsky.social's disastrous "lost forest" as proof of "sustainable" credentials. Presumably their revoked BCorp status, after an investigation into a toxic work culture, doesn't matter for official partners @homeofcricket.bsky.social www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2024/04/brew...

October was a hell of a busy month for me with one week alone sounding like something out of Chumbawamba’s Tubthumping! As a result it’s taken me days to pull all of this together so please make it worthwhile and have a read…!

Do you know where your favourite gin is actually made? And does it really matter?

There are lots of glasses in this picture. They all contain an iced drink. They are all orange apart from one, which is bright yellow and the only one to have a garnish (a dried lemon wheel). There is text overlaid which reads: "Allora, time for a different spritz" and "brought to you by the colours 💛 and 🩵".

Check out the latest edition of my newsletter for a new kind of spritz, and a BlueSky starter pack that'll get you thirsty for more 👇
