Raising a glass to 45 years of Home Entertainment with bold flavour and unforgettable style
London, Monday 22nd September 2025 – The British Association for Screen Entertainment (BASE) is delighted to announce Bandida Mezcal as the official Spirit and Cocktail Sponsor of the 2025 BASE Awards, taking place on Thursday 13 November at The Roundhouse, London.
This year, Bandida brings a taste of Mexico to Camden with a truly elevated drinks experience. Guests will be welcomed with the Bandida Blanco – a crystal-clear aperitif perfect for setting the tone at the reception – before being invited later in the evening to discover a line-up of signature mezcal cocktails that promise to ignite the senses.
Adding to the magic, specialist mezcal bartenders will be behind the bar, guiding guests through the story of mezcal – the world’s fastest-growing spirit and one that predates tequila by centuries. They’ll showcase how to savour it properly, from crisp aperitif to crafted cocktail, turning each serve into an experience. This is more than a pour; it’s an immersion into a spirit steeped in tradition, delivered with Bandida’s trademark elegance and flair.
Handcrafted in small batches in Oaxaca, Mexico, Bandida is distilled from 11-year-old agaves and bottled with no additives, sugar, preservatives or carbohydrates. Each bottle carries the gold-embossed goddess of agave, symbolising purity, spirit, and rebellion – a mark of Bandida’s ultra-premium promise.
“We created Bandida for those who want more from their drink – more character, more purity, more soul,” said James Mackie, Founder of Bandida. “We’re thrilled to bring this experience to the BASE Awards, celebrating creativity and excellence with a spirit that dares to be different.”
Liz Bales, Chief Executive at BASE, added: “The BASE Awards are the ultimate celebration of our industry’s talent and achievement. With Bandida as both spirit and cocktail sponsor, we’re offering our guests something truly exceptional – bold, beautiful, and unforgettable, just like the night itself.”
From the crisp first sip of the Blanco to late-night mezcal cocktails crafted by Bandida’s specialists, the 2025 BASE Awards promises a celebration unlike any other – stylish, authentic, and lit with the spirit of Mexico.
