Republic Drinks was born in 2024, the brainchild of three friends who had worked in the industry and saw a gap for new and exciting brands that could challenge the established order.
Republic Drinks import, distribute, and market some of the most innovative + disruptive brands in the industry, and we do so with drive, bravery, and a pervasive spirit

The first step I took in the drinks industry was in Chile. When I was 18, I flew over to the Curico Valley with the ambition of gaining a better understanding of how wine is made. This was ahead of studying Wine at University (yes, it’s a real course).
My first experience of working in the UK wine trade was at Butlers Wine Cellar in Brighton. An absolute gem on the south coast that’s run by some of the nicest people you could ever meet.
I’m a big fan of a Margarita. I’d probably say a Mezcal Margarita with a refreshing beer on the side.

I had bar jobs through university whilst gaining what turned out to be a pretty redundant degree in Print Journalism, after a brief hiatus travelling I came back toLondon and fell in to the hospitality circuit before switching sides in 2013 with HiSpirits.
Since then I’ve been involved in multiple brand launches across the UK andhave worked further afield in International Sales.
Favourite Drink?
I’d have to go for two, first off a Paloma – and I’m really enjoying its current revival. I’d never knock a well made Old Fashioned, or Manhattan. I know, that was three but I’ve never been great at making my mind up.

I first worked behind the bar the moment I turned 18 in a late night cocktail venue in Cambridge. A baptism of fire! Despite dipping my toe in a few other jobs, nothing since has been able to match the fun and energy of people in the drinks business.
Plus I find it impossible to sit behind a desk for long. Since then I’ve done and enjoyed both sides of the bar, most recently at Rémy Cointreau and Pernod Ricard.
Favourite Drink?
I’m convinced margaritas are just good for the soul. Plus I’m always partial to a neat whisk(e)y or three!
