QUICK QUOTES:
“I didn't like that feeling when you're tired, and someone would say, “Come out.” And you wouldn't go out, not because you didn't want to see them, but because, “Oh gosh, I might have to drink”, and I just didn't have that option out there.”
Smiling Wolf is the brand new range of five functional spirits from founder Hamilton Lowe. In this episode, he shares the origin story inspired by the bartender’s best friend, Barroca! Why he decided to launch with a massive five different drinks and, of course, how his functional spirits work and what they can do for moderating drinkers.
