Episode 26: Seedlip -The First Non-Alcoholic Spirit - a podcast by Prairie Rose: cocktail blogger and podcaster

For this week’s episode we’re getting a little less boozy...or rather, booze free altogether! In this episode we talk about SEEDLIP - one of the most successful spirit launches out of the UK in recent years - a product that bills itself as the world’s first distilled non-alcoholic spirit. What does that even mean? How do you drink it? And why has it been so wildly popular in the craft cocktail community? My interview with bartenders Aaron Polsky and Laura Lashley will clear that all up. They’ve been working with the brand here in LA, and have been singing its gospel since it landed stateside. This is our first interview with multiple guests and we did this on location at Aaron’s home bar Harvard & Stone in Hollywood.
