Hi, I’m Jon, the co-founder of Passport & Pours, and I’ve been passionate about both travel and cocktails for as long as I can remember. From exploring hidden cocktail bars in New Orleans to experimenting with new Negroni variations at home, I’ve turned my love for mixology and adventure into a journey worth sharing. My role at Passport & Pours is to curate cocktail recipes and share travel guides that bring the spirit of each city to life.

And I’m Amy, the other half of Passport & Pours! While Jon focuses on mixology, I love documenting our travels and discovering the local culture behind every cocktail we enjoy. From rooftop bars in far off places to quaint cafés in Paris, I’m always searching for the next hidden gem. My favorite part? Helping our readers connect with the culture and flavors of every new city.

Together, we’ve turned Passport & Pours into a community of cocktail enthusiasts and travel lovers. Whether we’re sipping on a classic Old Fashioned in New York or finding the perfect rooftop bar in Barcelona, we love sharing our experiences and showing you how to recreate these moments at home.
