New York

Brian and I took an amazing trip to New York back in September. It was my first time there and I could not have been more taken by the city. Real neighborhoods. Real diversity. Controlled chaos.

Not only did we receive interest from major spirit producers in sponsoring The Cocktail Spirit with Robert Hess we also had a chance to sip great cocktails. On our way to meet our buddy Andre Sala of TVtonic at PDT we stopped by Death & Co. Joaquin Simo was behind the bar.
