Spitting Bars

S2 E1 - Virtuous Vodkas or just Virtue Signalling


Listen Later


Welcome back to Season 2 and we launch straight into a packed show. 

The lads catch up on Stretch's travels with the Mangrove brand and JB's opening his newest bar, Fomo.

With news dominated by Russia's intrusion into Ukraine, we discuss the reactions of the hospitality sector.
 Is it right to delist Russian products? Are the companies that make such a public stance in supporting Ukraine actually doing it for the right reasons? Or are they just baying to public opinion? Even worse, are some profiteering from it?

To celebrate Cinq De Mayo, we blind test Stretch on recognising his own product Vivir next to 'Hollywood' Tequilas, Teremana and Casamigos. See how he does.

Kevin Hart is the latest celebrity to launch a Tequila, will it be a hit or miss?
Thomas Ashbourne Craft Spirits launch their celebrity endorsed RTDs, Sarah Jane Parker was always the obvious match to a Cosmopolitan but does John Cena shout Old Fashioned?
