You may not think that liquids can tell stories, but when you look at Laure like Sorel, which has basically traveled from West Africa through the Caribbean, into Harlem, and then across the river to Red Hook, you can bet that there are some stories to tell.
There are stories of commerce both through the slave and spice trade.
There are stories of tradition as displaced peoples kept the original sorrow liquid alive, and there are stories of migration as many went to New York seeking a better life.
Additionally, there are stories of family as recipes got passed down from one generation to the next.
There are stories of creation as the non-alcoholic Sorrel is transformed into a liqueur.
And there are stories of determination as the brand starts on its mission to re-establish itself and communicate everything that has come before.
To hear some of these stories, we talk to self-proclaimed custodian of the brand. Jackie Summers about flavour, identity, and the origin of the red drink.

When we think about Dry January or making any non-alcoholic cocktails, we usually think about the spirits or liqueurs that we use in drinks. But how often do you think about the bitters? Coming in tiny little bottles, where you might only use a drop or two, it's easy to forget that bitters are technically alcohol. Most bitters commonly on the market sit around 35-45% ABV, and although you are only using a small amount, this can derail your non-alcoholic efforts. So, understandably, non-alcoholic bitters brands are becoming more and more popular. One such brand is the New Orleans-based El Guapo. also makes non-alcoholic mixers, syrups and RTDs. All-natural, with no-GMO ingredients, and female-led, the brand also makes non-alcoholic mixers, syrups and RTDs. We talk to El Guapo founder Christa Cotton about creating non-alc bitters, incorporating flavours and what it means to straddle the world of cocktails and non-alc.…
 
For years, the Whiskey industry (both with an ‘e’ and without) has been innovating and keeping consumers intrigued by using Single Barrel programs. Now, Tequila distillery Partida, the original additive-free Tequila, has announced that Master Tequilero José Valdez has crafted 30 unique barrels of their award-winning and highly regarded añejo for a single-barrel programme of their own. Each barrel will have unique tasting notes, making each one special and highly collectable for tequila aficionados. To find out more, we talk to Valdez about barrels, barrel sections and what this new programme will mean for consumers…
 
When you think about Aspen, your mind probably goes to beautiful snow-covered ski runs and the jet-set taking their winter holidays on the slopes. And why not? Aspen has some of the best and most prestigious mountains for skiing and snowboarding in the world. But what if your mind instead went to Vodka? This is what Aspen Vodka is hoping your mind will do. With their use of pure ingredients and their deep appreciation for the mountain terroir, Aspen Vodka is looking to embody the essence of sustainability and luxury at one of the world's leading carbon-negative distilleries. To find out more, we talk to Jerod Day, Aspen Vodka’s Director of Distilling Operations, about purity, sustainability, and creating a luxury Vodka in an overcrowded market.…
 
Like so many of us, Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton has a fondness for Tequila, but also, like many of us, he understands the advantages of imbibing less. But finding a good non-alc Tequila is not as simple as it sounds. So Hamilton did the next logical thing - he created his own. In an endeavour to honour the tradition and craft of real Tequila, he partnered with Casa Lumbre, an innovative Mexican spirit company and its distiller and co-owner Ivan Saldaña. The two them crafted Almave, which is marketed as the first non-alcoholic blue agave-based spirit distilled in Jalisco Mexico. The liquid has been designed to provide an alcohol-free alternative without compromising traditional tequila's authentic taste and cultural essence. To find out more, we talk to the distiller and co-owner of Casa Lumbre about Blue Agave and retaining the taste of Blue Agave without fermentation.…

While we’d be hard-pressed to believe that cocktail syrups are the Elixir Vitae or ‘elixir of immortality,’ spoken about in ancient Alchemy, for lovers of tropical drinks, Falernum is not far off. So it’s unsurprising that US Premium Cocktail Syrups brand, Liquid Alchemist has just launched their own Falernum, the most recent addition to their stable of flavours. To find out more, we talk to a modern version of an alchemist, former bartender and Liquid Alchemy founder Randy Tarlow about flavour, tropical cocktails and the importance of Syrups to the balance of a good drink.…
 
When people talk about Bourbon, they usually talk about the barrels - they go on about the char levels and whether there was any toasting. After that, they might discuss the age and the time the liquid spent in those nicely charred barrels because, for most people, that time and those barrels denote the liquid's flavour. Occasionally, the conversation may turn to the makeup of the mash bill, such as the percentage of corn, to rye, to barley, or wheat. But very rarely do they ever talk about yeast. That is until Pat Heist and Shane Baker started Wilderness Trail in 2012. Unlike most other Craft distilleries that started during that period, Wilderness Trail had a unique advantage in its founders. It has two people who made a career out of supplying yeast strains and fermentation products to breweries and distilleries with their company FirmSolutions. Over ten years after they lay down their first distillations, we talk to Heist about fermentation, wheated whiskey and whether yeast really is the key to Bourbon’s flavour For more information, go to https://www.wildernesstraildistillery.com/…
 
If you travel high into the French Alps between the cliffs of Vercors and the peaks of Écrins National Park, you might be surprised that besides some of the world’s most beautiful mountain terrain, there is also Whiskey. Surrounded by the Trièves Mountains sits Les Hautes Glaces, the world’s oldest organic whisky farm & distillery, established in 2009 by Frédéric Revol. Nestled in such beauty, it’s not surprising that the distillery aims to put terroir at the heart of the taste of all its liquids. To find out more, we talk to Revol about grains, terroir and what it’s like to distil in the French Alps.…
 
Ever wondered what happens when a pop icon teams up with a master mixologist? Jennifer Lopez and Lynnette Marrero bring their unique talents together to create Delola, a line of Ready to Enjoy (RTE) cocktails that blend artistry and accessibility. While the brand already boasts expressions like its Paloma Rosa, Bella Berry and L’Orange Spritz, they have just added a new flavour to the sable in the form of a Light Margarita. We talk to Marrero about flavour, low ABV and what star power adds to a brand For more information on Delola, go to http://delolalife.com…
 
There is nothing more romantic than the story of a revived brand, and none seems to have done it as well as Kentucky Owl. Founded in 1879, the brand created Whiskey until Prohibition shut it down. A hundred years later, the great-great-grandson of the founder revived the family business with a view to respecting the past but looking to the future. And with that, a boutique Bourbon business known for its limited releases was reborn. Its latest release, the Maighstir (which is Gaelic for master) epitomises the creativity and disruptive nature of the brand. To find out more, we talk to Master Distiller Dr. Maureen Robinson about blending, legacy and turning Bourbon into Scotch…
 
Let’s face it: the agave spirits market is crowded. So, if you are looking to bring out a new tequila, you’ve really got to stand out. Casa Obsidiana, a brand that was released at the end of last year, is looking to do that on several fronts. By incorporating elements of modern art, heritage, and liquids substantially transformed by wine cask ageing, the brand is looking to make its mark on the ultra-premium market. But the promises of all those elements are a lot to live up to. We talk to co-founder Jean-Charles Boisset about yeast strains, barrel regimes and what it takes to cut through the noise.…
 
No matter what you think of RTDs, you can’t argue with the convenience factor - a fact that has driven the sector into a meteoric rise since COVID. Although figures show that the sector is beginning to plateau, the premium end of the category is still seeing growth and a demand for new variations. One such premium brand that has been making its mark is Australia’s Curitif - a brand that believes its expressions empower consumers to redefine their occasions. With a luxury, high-end image, the brand seeks to constantly express its core values of quality, convenience, and sustainability. To find out more about this, we talked to the brand’s founder, Matt Sanger, about cocktails, the future of the category, and a shiny, new expression the brand is about to release.…
 
We live in a time when people often refer to Scotch not only by the brand name but also by the age of the liquid. In executive boardrooms and exclusive gentlemen's clubs, the names of single malts are mentioned with a certain reverence, and a hush will come over the room as a Glenlivit 74-year-old or a Dalmore 45-year-old, as discussed. They are expensive, they are exclusive, and they have given single malt scotch an air of rarity and distinction. But there is one brand that seeks to throw all the trappings of labelling aside and who seeks to challenge the drinker to look to flavour and taste as a benchmark. With Smokehead, the liquid in its bottles is Islay single malts, but distillery names and age classifications are not mentioned. In other words, Smokehead is looking to take you down the road less travelled and presents cask-finished whiskies that have the pedigree but without the labelling. To find out what it all means we talk to Michael Brown, Global Whisky Brand Ambassador for Smokehead’s parent company, Ian Macleod Distillers about flavour, smoke and what disrupting scotch whiskey means…
 
New Orleans has a long tradition of being the gateway between US Bourbon and the rest of the world. And Chicken Cock, being one of the oldest Whiskey brands in the US, has had a long association with the city. Even before he started Chicken Cock Whiskey, original founder James A. Miller was shipping barrels of his coveted whiskey down to the ‘Big Easy’ in the 1830s. So it's no surprise that Chicken Cock has been shipping a very special expression down south for this year's New Orleans Bourbon Festival. A limited-edition, created in collaboration with the festival, the brand's Single Barrel Double Oak Kentucky Whiskey has been aged for nine years—the final two in new American White Oak with a level four char. We caught up with Master Distiller Gregg Snyder to discuss the expression and what it's like to create a liquid designed to live up to the legends of the city, the festival, and the brand.…
 
As El Mayor prepares to export its Tequila to Europe, we caught up with the brand's Master Distiller and Brand Ambassador, Grace Gonzalez, to find out more about its liquid. Grace, a guardian of her family's fourth-generation distilling wisdom, distills the essence of crafting tequila that resonates with aficionados and newcomers alike (and gives insight into how you can pair it with everything from sushi to steak). We traverse the landscape of agave fields, uncovering the meticulous care that goes into each bottle, and discuss how El Mayor's dedication to quality is capturing the hearts of an audience with an ever-refined palate. As we talk, you'll become privy to the nuances of their signature tequilas, from the crisp notes of the Blanco to the aged elegance of the Extra Añejo, each telling its own story of heritage and flavor.…
