Ajabu is a platform for the African hospitality industry to connect across the continent and beyond, to inspire innovation, collaboration, and creativity, as well as to celebrate Africa and its incredible diversity of people, ingredients and drinks. Colin unpacks the wealth of flavors, ingredients and talent the festival has unleashed, what it’s like to build a cocktail festival even when everyone tells you not to, and where this brainchild of his is headed next.\n\nPlus, is all British food bad? Greg and Colin weigh in.\n\nFollow Colin at @cocktailcolin\n\nFollow Ajabu at @ajabufestival\n\nThe Speakeasy is now on YouTube!
