Description

Hosts Simon Webster (BarLifeUK) and Jennie Rae Chuter (CASK) ask members of the cocktail bar community to imagine their perfect drinking experience - any bar, any bartender, any cocktail, any wing-person, along with a perfect soundtrack and all-important bar snacks. And because this is a magic podcast, guests are not limited by time, place, or space - their choices can come from the past or present, real-life or their imagination, or a combination of all four - as long as we end up with their perfect, personal, fantasy drinking session... Hosts: Simon Webster and Jennie Rae Chuter. Produced by Andy Ives. A BarLifeUK Podcast.
