The Presidio was a military base but now it's an oasis at the edge of San Francisco, a prime example of reuse and community. Learn about the history and transformation of the Presidio as well as what it's like to stay there as a visitor at either the Lodge or the Inn. My guest for the Real Food Traveler Podcast is Terry Haney, Managing Director of Presidio Lodging.

What started out as a movement to promote reducing the consumption of alcohol (while still having something special to drink) has become a way of life. No longer just relegated to "Dry January," alcohol-free drinks are big business and can be found on restaurant menus and on beverage shelves everywhere.

In this episode of the Real Food Traveler Podcast, we meet the couple behind Madame Mocktail, makers of bottled mocktails that can be enjoyed on their own, or as the foundation of other drinks. Get to know co-owners, Alena Brook Mahoney and James Mahoney and hear the powerful story of what's behind their business, what's so unique about the Madame Mocktails and what the future holds for them, as they take their place in the mocktail market.

Learn more, and see photos of Alena and James and their products on RealFoodTraveler.com.
