Amor y Amargo

I’m so stoked to announce that my Desert Curse hot sauce passed another stretch goal and I’ll be producing my South of the Border spice rub, a great accompaniment to the hot sauce! “SOB” is perfect for barbecue ribs, slow cooked brisket, broiled winter squash, blackening fish or topping fries and popcorn. Head over to the campaign and add it to your pledge.

Ahoy Friends!

Especially local to New York,
I’m getting so close to my stretch goal and I notice no one has taken me up on the Afternoon Hangout at the Shaker & Spoon Cocktail Factory.

It’d only take 6 of you to put me over the $10k stretch goal. I know we can do it!

For those who live farther away, there’s still a plenty of seats for the Virtual Happy Hour too!

Plus some Early Bird 20% off offerings.

Tag a friend who’d love some hot sauce engineered for both food and drink!

I’ve partnered with Tiki Diablo to create an extremely limited-edition numbered ceramic cocktail mug. There are only 100 mugs available, featuring a goat’s foot and skull motif and lettering spelling out Cafe de L’enfer (Cafe from Hell)!

These mugs are both a beautiful art item for your backbar as well as a functional service piece. Additionally, I’m including an E-Book with 6 new original cocktails as well as 3 classics to enjoy in your mug, plus access to my personally curated Spotify playlist to set an eerie imbibing atmosphere.

All this for $120 delivered.

And I’ve also included discounts for my Driftwood and Garden Party bitters for all mug purchasers (each is featured in a recipe).

Tag the mug collectors you know!

We're about to kick off Season 3 of my interactive online cocktail show The Bitters Truth on September 21, so I wanted to make sure you all know about the show.

It's basically a community of people around the country who are really into cocktails just like you, and we get together online once a month and make great stuff together – bitters, obviously, but also cordials, shrubs, syrups, and of course tons of fun new cocktails

We send you a kit with everything you need for the whole season and I teach you how to use it all. Order your kit by September 13 (YIKES, TGATS TODAY) so that it arrives in time for Episode 1!

BUT IF YOU SIGN UP LATE, I'll do a second run of Episode 1 on October 5 for you.

We're having an audience cocktail contest for season 2 right now, and I've been blown away by the specs people are coming up with! So many great ideas, I can't wait to taste them all. The audience is really an amazing group of cocktail fans.

So if you love cocktails and want to learn how to make better ones, sign up for the Bitters Truth!

And if you use the code SOTHERSENTME (all one word) when you check out, you'll get 10% off and have a chance to win an awesome set of cocktail making gear and personalized stuff from me, like my books and bitters.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Cheers!
