PEOPLE gets a first look at it Shay Mitchell‘s new Max show, in which she discovers specialty drinks in Colombia, Peru and beyond
Shay Mitchell is seriously committed to finding the best drink.
In her upcoming travel show, Thirst, the actress travels the world to learn about different “drink trends, the best bars and 8,000 years of sipping history” from expert hosts, according to a press release. In addition to sharing exclusive photos, the Liars star tells PEOPLE about her unique travel journey and how the new Max show — premiering worldwide on May 23 — came to be.
“For me: making it Thirst is the dream…years ago I had my own travel YouTube series, and my time on the road and on the plane allowed me to create BÉIS and then Onda…is there anything more perfect for me?’ she says, referring to her bags and luggage brand and tequila line.
According to Mitchell, the idea came from a time of creativity for many people: the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
