Dia Daoibh agus Fáilte - Hello and Welcome
I'm Michael Ó Mordha, an Irish writer based in Seattle. By day, I work as a tour director guiding groups through the US and Europe, and in my previous life, I was immersed in the tech world. This unique combination of experiences shapes my storytelling.
Every 4-6 weeks, I share the fascinating history behind classic cocktails, blending my love for research with entertaining narratives. From unraveling the colonial intrigue behind the Singapore Sling to exploring forgotten spirits, each piece offers a fresh perspective on familiar drinks.
Between cocktail chronicles, I share stories from the world - whether it’s people I have met on the road or my experience sailing and sinking in the South Pacific. These tales range from practical travel insights to personal adventures, like the story of how I met my wife.
In the coming year, I'll be expanding into fiction, drawing from my experiences and imagination to craft compelling stories. As a lifelong learner, I'm passionate about weaving together history, travel, and cultural insights into stories that inform and entertain.
Join me on this journey of discovery, one story at a time.
Slán go fóill,
Micháel
