TheOrator.Press Business Page: ‘The No & Low Alcohol Movement’ Enjoys Growing Buzz, Young Brand ‘Mi Sora’ Introduces Mighty Matcha Coolers & Cocktails, It’s A Double Win For ‘Double Dutch’ Tonics & Sodas ‘Standing Alone’ or ‘Mixing It Up’, New BCB Education Director Elliot Ball Means Business, And It’s A Proud Moment For ‘Sterling & Malcolm’ Showcasing Their New Generation British-Jamaican Rum. It Was All Happening At The Second BCB Bar Convention, London, Tobacco Dock, Wapping. May 2026

Hayman’s Gin Is Amongst The Best There Is And Is Partaken In Some Very High End Places. We Tried The Old Tom Variety. It’s Truly Delic’, British, Refreshing, Crisp, Fabulously From South London, Moving And Memorable. The Brand Is Mindfully Balanced As Well Because They Also Produce A No, Low, Mid Edition. So Big Up’ To Them For Their ‘Small Gin’. The Thimble With Which It Comes (Third Photo From The Top, First Column Above) Is Symbolic of The Fact That It’s 80% Less Alcohol Than The Regular Bottles. It’s All About Balance In Everyway. And They’ve Literally Got It Made! Enjoy Hayman’s Anytime, Anywhere And Let The Hayman’s Taxi Take You There. And Back! – @Hayman’s – Marketing Material From Female Twins Brand ‘Double Dutch’ Mixers, Soda’s And Tonics, Is Original, Colourful, Durable, Focused On Nature, Animals, And The Elements. Their “Bottle Blade” (aka Bottle Opener To You And Me), Strong Paper Bags, Ice-Bucket And Glasses Are Beautiful Pieces. The Three Man PR Team (Led By Their Ops Manager) Was Bright, Friendly, And Engaging. They Were A Genuine Joy. Happily The Mixers Themselves Are Delightful Too. On Their Own Or As A Vibrant Refreshing Mixer In A Vast Range of Carefully Considered Flavours. Girl Power. And Then Some! Sisters are Doing It For Themselves. Amen To That! Having Had A Great Night Out There We Know Le Courtisane Burlesque Bar In Brixton Stock Double Dutch Tonics And Sodas. We’ve Tried Them There And Elsewhere And They Are A Win Win. With Alcohol or With Nothing Else In. – @doubledutchdrinks – ‘The Art of Ease’ Is The Brand Slogan of ‘No Muss’ [ ‘No Fuss’] Pre-Mixed Cocktail Bases. Just Pour The Pre-Mix Base of Your Choice.

Worthy Park Rum And Dos Almeras Amongst Them. – therumahrotterdam.com And @therumahrotterdam Brands Come From Far And Wide, Which In Terms of Customers, Quality, And Diversity, Is A Great Selling Point. www.BarrelsMatter – WorthyParkEstate.com @WorthyParkEstate Rising Like A Phoenix From The Ashes Is Longtime Family Irish Whisky Brand Teeling Whiskey. Loved Meeting Their Aussie-Come-Irish Representative (Now Living In Ireland) Who Has Great Stories (As You Can Imagine). Loving The Smokey Teeling Whiskey. And OMG…Irish Whiskey Slush. Who Knew?! It Has To Be Done. Great For Summertime. And, Having Now Met Camille (@mindfullycami) – A No, Low, or Mid Version Is Essential. After all, There’s Guinness Zero. If They Can Do It, It Must Be Do-Able. – @TeelingWhiskey
