Before a night out in Cusco with Miss Peru, Shay heads deep into the Sacred Valley with adventure photographer Mariano Breccia to explore two Incan favorites: coca tea and a corn beer called chichi de jora. Then, a mountain distillery 9,000 feet above sea level crafts the new national beverage of Peru and challenges Shay's taste buds with a potion library of extreme infusions. A world-class mixology duo takes Shay to the source of their secret ingredient before introducing her to a local agronomist making wines from an unlikely crop. Along the way, Shay faces her biggest fear head-on, samples a thick tea, downs a ceviche cocktail and encounters a snag while hiking Machu Picchu in search of a spiritual life hack.
Shay Mitchell gets a taste of the jewel of Colombia's Caribbean coast in Cartagena, where morning rituals bring espresso beer, slow coffee and a street vendor crawl through the old town. Shay tries to keep up with a Getsemani native as they drink their way through a one-of-a-kind tasting menu by a young chef saving ancient flora from the brink of extinction. Local restaurateur, Juan Del Mar, brings Shay to one of The World's 50 Best bars to sample once-illegal cocktails. A visit to the infamous walled city leads Shay to the first free town in the Americas, where a Bantu-based language is kept alive through music and sugarcane moonshine. Finally, a day at the beach turns into a wild night out after a storm floods the city.
Shay Mitchell stops by Buenos Aires' first tiki bar, where flaming cocktails kick off an all-nighter. A visit to the birthplace of Argentine pizza fuels a trip to the countryside, where Shay sips maté with a charismatic Gaucho before attempting to corral a herd of cattle. Then, a wine tasting transports Shay to all four corners of the country, and world-famous mixologist Federico Cuco performs spirit magic passed down from ancient traditions. A rainy day inspires Shay to investigate Argentina's obsession with Fernet Branca before searching for a hidden restaurant where a renowned chef never repeats a menu. Finally, a last-minute excursion has Shay sneaking off for one final drink before her plane leaves town.
Shay Mitchell heads to the island of Florianopolis, where social media maven, Camilla Coutinho, reveals how locals unwind. Following a night of caipirinhas and cachaça shots, a rigorous pint tasting at a local craft brewery leads to an unexpected proposal. After a precarious drive, Shay seeks a surefire hangover cure involving an açai smoothie and a ride on the big waves of Praia Mole beach with pro surfer Karina Abras. Shay nurses her wipeout wounds with a dinner at Ostradamus, where a table on the water serves up native wine and the freshest oysters in the country. Finally, a day trip to Brazil's only organic cachaça distillery puts Shay to work chopping sugarcane in the middle of the Atlantic Forest.
