Southern Current is an odyssey to the sparkling waters surrounding New Zealand. Single malt vodka is masterfully mixed with bergamot, mineral water charged with CO2 and roasted hōjicha tea with a delicate blend of sea salt and whisky-infused Mānuka Honey to create a foam that lingers like ocean spray. taken in We are Panacea by @drinkscal

This note of thanks may be a little overdue, but the gratitude is as strong as ever. 🙏

I’m incredibly honoured to have represented Aotearoa 🇳🇿 at the 2025 Jameson Global Summit, an unforgettable gathering of passionate, talented, and inspiring individuals from across the world. 🌎

To the organisers @jamesonhosts, @tonytobrien, and every person who made this opportunity possible. Thank you for creating such a meaningful space to share ideas, challenge perspectives, and grow together. The way you welcomed us and created space for real conversations and shared goals really meant a lot.

A huge congratulations again to the winners @mattsmithysmith, @stefan.david_codrea, @afro_kj fully deserved.

Feeling deeply thankful, full of hope, and more inspired than ever. 🌱✨
