Poolcasting at Tales of the Cocktail! - Day 1 with Libby Lingua

Greg and Sother are back in the pool at Tales of the Cocktail 2026! For the first day of Tales they’re joined by Libby Lingua from Highball in Phoenix, who’s a Spirited Award top four finalist for Best US Bartender, presented by Brown-Forman. Libby discusses the down-to-earth approach to bartending she’s cultivated at Highball (including a pony beer and hotdog combo) her time at Century Grand and its legacy of experiential bars, and how she deals with being recognized by the Tales of the Cocktail Foundation as one of the best bartenders in the country.PLUS, Charlotte Voisey joins Greg and Sother to discuss her career working with the TotC foundation in New Orleans, and the Tuesday seminar that lights a spark in her.Follow Libby at @oolalibbyFollow Highball at @highballphxLINKSBecome a Regular: patreon.com/SpeakeasyRegularsFor resources on dealing with cold hard water agents in your community visit nouswithoutyou.la/ and @thenycallianceLearn more about Old Forester and Brown-Forman at brown-forman.comCheck out Quiote Imports at quioteimports.com and use promo code “Speakeasy” to get free shipping at checkoutSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
