Difford's Guide is a small-team internet publisher based in Northiam, England, focused on the drinks category. It runs a widely visited online platform delivering impartial, in-depth coverage of cocktails, beers, spirits and liqueurs, alongside profiles of notable venues. The site serves both trade professionals and consumers, helping readers decide what to drink and where to enjoy it. Beyond its online presence, the company publishes books, including the Difford's Guide to Cocktails, now in its 17th edition, and operates a creative arm offering photography, videography and design services for drinks brands. The business was founded by Simon Difford, a drinks expert with more than 25 years in the industry. A recent development involves a collaboration with Lustau in 2026 to host a competition on its platform for an international audience of cocktail and drinks professionals.
