Fat Adam’s Old Fashioned Cocktail, now officially the GOLD standard in the UK winning the Gold Medal at the World Drinks Award for Best in Country Cocktail

In February 2023, I found myself staring at the ceiling in the early hours of the morning, wondering how things had unravelled so far, so fast.

Professionally, I was lost, two promising businesses I was a partner in, had closed, for wildly different reasons. Personally, I found myself struggling with my mental health in a way I hadn’t before — or at least hadn’t admitted out loud. As a qualified trauma counsellor and psychotherapist that has always been known for my positive attitude and ultra-resilience, I suddenly felt like I was trapped in a loop of underperformance and self-doubt, weighed down by the pressure to keep it all together while quietly falling apart. Feeling alone and that I was letting everyone down. It all happened in a matter of days; my head was spinning.

I started having extremely dark thoughts, thoughts unlike any I had previously experienced.

That year became my reset point. Not in the way I’d imagined or hoped, but in the way that breakdowns often do — they leave you with nothing to hide behind and finally give you the space to build something new.

And so, Fat Adam’s was born.
