In this episode, the first of Season 4, we are delighted to welcome back Robert Simonson, a freelance writer who covers cocktails, spirits, bars and bartenders for the New York Times. Robert recently launched his own spirited e-newsletter, “The Mix with Robert Simonson” on Substack. He was our podcast’s very first guest, and it is great to have him back on the show.
Robert won the Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Award for Best Cocktail and Spirits Writer in 2019, and his work has also appeared in Imbibe, VinePair and other top media. The Wisconsin native is also the accomplished author of six books: “Mezcal and Tequila Cocktails,” “The Martini Cocktail,” “The Old-Fashioned,” “A Proper Drink,” “3-Ingredient Cocktails” and the upcoming “Modern Classic Cocktails.”
Tune in to listen to this spirited and thoughtful writer and author, and learn how to get his attention and be featured in his stories.
