In this episode, we are joined by Imme Ermgassen Co-Founder of Botivo, a big sipping botanical aperitivo which is taking the non-alcoholic industry by storm.

Its unique flavour which takes a year to craft along with its vibrant and engaging branding isn't a product centred around moderation but rather a drink for any occasion whether you want to pair it with tequila or a soda. Botivo is a vehicle for making memories and Imme shares her journey to co-founding the brand with co-founder Sam.

We highlight the importance of branding when it comes to food and drink as well as of course the taste of the product which is also delicious!

We also touch on Imme's morning routine (or maybe lack of in this case) and her obsession with eggs.
