Bar Regular Update

Revealing Our New Virtual Bar Wall!

It’s been quite a winter of discontent for journalists. Publications are racking up as many days of mass layoffs as there have been days of sub-freezing temperatures in New York City. More difficult than digging your car out of the snow is figuring out the current media landscape.

We at The Mix hope to provide the best original (i.e., non-sponsored, non-AI or Googled), personally researched content to our readers with every post. But we can only do this with the support of our subscribers. So The Mix would like to take a moment to thank our newest Bar Regulars:

• Simon Difford, publisher of “Difford’s Guide”

• Lisa Belczyk, founder of “The Fizzy Coupe”

• Lowell Edmunds, Martini historian, author and expert

• Laura Moran, writer

We are so grateful to have them join The Mix Bar Regulars, as we are to all the Bar Regulars.

The Mix tries to provide valuable content and experiences for everyone no matter what their level of commitment. But, yes, we would be lying if we didn’t say we need paid subscribers to keep this thing going and untethered to bigger, more biased interests. So, there are four ways to participate:

• A Free Membership will get you The Mix’s weekly newsletter.

• A paid Monthly Subscription ($6) or Annual Subscription ($50) will get you everything: all the articles, news items, interviews, spirit reviews, Side Cars, bar news, cocktail recipes, “At Home With,” “Drinking with Landmarks,” “In Search Of,” “Making History,” travelogues, restaurant and saloon visits, videos, voice memos and other audio stuff, musings and what have you.

• A Bar Regular Subscription at $150 and up, you will get you all of the above, plus a signed copy of my upcoming book, Bourbon and Rye Cocktails; invitations to events like the annual Bar Regular Mixer get-together; discounts on events like The Martini Expo; a REALLY Big Thank You; AND a “Bar Regular” brass plaque on the virtual bar wall of The Mix (see above)!

Finally, because there is so much happening in the Midwest hospitality industry and we are right here getting the best view, we hope that if you are a paid subscriber to The Mix, you will ask MK to add you (for free) to The Milwaukee Mix. We want to make this a benefit for our paid subscribers, but don’t want to add to your inbox if you don’t want it. Email her at marykatemurray@me.com, or DM her on Instagram.

Thank you so much for joining us!

Robert and Mary Kate
