The Curious Bartender Podcast #61 Claire Warner - Non-Alc, Social Connection, Healthspan, Happiness, Dry January
Spotify will now include a video version of the podcast 🎉
Which also means I've done away with the introduction (probably also a 🎉 for most of you). These show notes will
offer a glimpse though, as well as the chapter markers.

Claire is a veteran of the hospitality industry having served as Global Belvedere Vodka Ambassador for many years, before moving into the non-alc space when she co-founded Æcorn Aperitifs with Seedlip founder Ben Branson. She has served as the Head of Luxury brands at Diageo, is a non-exec at Tales of the Cocktail, and spends great deal of time these days extolling the virtues of third spaces, social connection, and responsible consumption.
