#109, Tony Sachs, Philip Duff Show regular, drinks writer, bon vivant

Regular listeners will know New York drinks writer Tony Sachs, who occupies a place in The Philip Duff Show universe somewhere between "henchman" and "drinking buddy". It's been a while since we convened to drink our way through the literal lakes of booze Tony is sent on a daily basis, and because he was off to drink Direct Martinis from the hand of Alessandro Palazzi that evening, we started out with a nice run of tasting no- and low-alc drinks, including new low-alcohol gin Second Sip from Leo Robitschek & Nick Strangeway, St Agrestis' Phony Negroni, Three Cents' superior grapefruit soda for Palomas, and Jillian Vose's Badger Bevs tonic (for mixing with the Second Sip), as well as bottled Second Sip cocktails from both Leo and Clemente Bar head bartender Nicole Giampino. But then, predictably, the wheels came off as Tony started dragging out bottles of booze potent enough to run a small car on. This is a fun one, and there's some breaking news about tequila master Carlos Camarena right at the start, too - enjoy!Tony on IG: https://www.instagram.com/retromannyc/Tony's writing: https://www.tonysachsdrinks.com/what-im-writingSecond Sip 20% abv gin: https://www.instagram.com/drink.secondsip/ (Get in touch with Duff!Podcast business enquiries:  [email protected] (PR friends: we’re only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things besides their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is. They need to be able to hang.
