This month, we talk to the brilliant mind behind Botivo, Sam Paget Steavenson. From his beginnings in hospitality to co-creating one of the most exciting non-alcoholic drinks on the market, Sam brings creativity, care and serious craftsmanship to everything he does.
Sam Paget Steavenson is the visionary co‑founder behind Botivo, the bold, British aperitivo that reimagines what non‑alcoholic drinks can be. Along with his team, Sam oversees the artisanal creation of each batch at Lannock Farm in Hertfordshire, ensuring every detail feels intentional, from the hand‑picked ingredients to the hands‑on production process.
Botivo is a bold, British aperitif crafted for those who want real flavour without the alcohol. Made by hand in small batches, it blends bittersweet botanicals, citrus, and herbs with no flavourings, preservatives or shortcuts. Wax-dipped bottles, layered taste, and a slow-made process make Botivo a drink that feels just as good as it tastes. Serve it simply over ice with soda and a slice of orange, and ease into your evening the Botivo way.
