Sam Bail is the founder and tastemaker of the Stateside non-alcoholic pop-up sensation Third Place Bar.
And for the last two years, Sam has had her finger firmly on the pulse of the low/no drinks scene.
Born in Germany, studied in Manchester (the one in England, that is), and currently based in New York, Sam is busy putting on events, teaching cocktail classes, and integrating all of these into both consumer and corporate locations.
We cover everything from going to events alone to adult parallel play to the challenges of alcohol-free, spirit-forward cocktails – including a few tips from Sam on how best to serve them. Anyone for sushi rice in their drink…?
