Sharing our journey to discover the unique
libations the world has to offer
We are excited to welcome a new feature to the blog. As we travel the world, we have found many countries or regions with unique local libations. Since we firmly believe in exploring the cultures and traditions of the places we visit, we intentionally seek out these special beers, spirits, and wines. It has led to some memorable and enjoyable experiences.
One of the greatest gifts of our journey to seek traditional libations was the wonderful local people we had the privilege of meeting. We found that when you show genuine interest, people love to share the history and story of what they are pouring us. Several times, they landed, opened more bottles, and gave us a sample of all the variations they offer.
As we discover new Libations of the World, we will share their story and our experiences. It is a delight for us to look back and relive these lovely finds with our readers.
Do you have unique drinks you have found during your travels that you would like to share with us?
