Customer Reviews
Enormously informative & always entertaining
Elizabeth and Abigail each have an impressive depth of knowledge on the subjects of spirits and bartending. Listening to this podcast, I feel like I’m sitting at a bar listening to a conversation between two friends in the industry. You’ll learn, you’ll laugh, and most importantly, you’ll be inspired to try new things and up your own game. Never snobbish, Drink & Learn will encourage to embrace what *you* like, not what you *should* like.
Engaging and informative!
