June 9: Anniversary Sale!
As The Mix Turns a Year-and-a-Half This Month, Save 20% on a Paid Annual Subscription
18 months?!
Can it be? I’ve had jobs that lasted less than 18 months. I’ve lived in apartments for fewer than 18 months. New York State has had governors that didn’t last as long.
The Mix has published 122 posts since January 19, 2022. That’s roughly two and half articles a week. People have said a lot of things about me as a writer, but “unproductive” is not one of them.
All that labor has paid off. The Mix is one of the top Food and Drink newsletters on Substack. And just last week, the newsletter was able to add “award-nominated” to its resume, when the Tales of the Cocktail’s Spirited Awards gave it a nod, putting it in the running with such well-established drinks publications as Punch, Liquor.com, The Spirits Business and Class.
Right now, you can get a one-year, annual subscription for the low, low price of $40, fully 20% less than the regular $50 price. (This sale only applies to annual subscriptions, not monthly subscriptions, which will remain at $6 a month.)
And, while you’re considering that offer, think of going it one better and becoming a Bar Regular, at a cost of $150. Bar Regulars, in addition to receiving the singular honor of a getting a virtual brass plaque on The Mix’s virtual back bar, will receive a signed copy of my new book The Encyclopedia of Cocktails when it comes out in October. Within its 320 pages, The Encyclopedia encompassed more than 300 entries about the bars, bartenders and cocktails that make up the breadth of cocktail history, both past and modern. Also, you’ll be invited to a publication day Zoom party hosted by yours truly!
The discounted annual subscription offer is good only until midnight on Monday, June 19. That gives you eleven days to check out what The Mix has to offer and make up your mind. But, really, what’s to think about!? Subscribe right now and enjoy the weekend, worries-free!
To celebrate your new status as a paid subscriber of The Mix, give this appropriately named cocktail a whirl. It was sourced from Difford’s Guide and was created not by a bartender but a cocktail enthusiast. I made some adjustments to the original recipe It is not unlike a Blood and Sand in flavor and texture.
