Merry Christmas from The Spirits Business

The Spirits Business team will be taking a short break over Christmas – but we will be back in 2024 with all the latest breaking news, features and interviews.

As the days between Christmas and the new year roll into one, we have a number of scheduled pieces to be published – so do keep an eye on thespiritsbusiness.com. The editorial team will be back at their desks from Tuesday 2 January, when we will announce our predictions for the spirits trends that will dominate 2024. Our compilation of cocktail trends for the coming year is available to read online and in the December 2023 edition of the magazine. Furthermore the first set of results from The Global Spirits Masters Competitions will go live in January, The Low & No Masters 2024. And, excitingly, we will begin our annual countdown of the 50 most innovative spirits launches of 2023. In case you missed it, we recently reported on the biggest news stories from 2023. And to keep the cocktail inspiration flowing over the Christmas period and into the new year, we've compiled 10 festive recipes. Christmas can be a difficult time of year for many people.
