Does Zygo Get phony Fluff pieces in the POST? NO!! We go until 6am and drink!!

The thing that brings me the most joy are the nights out with bartenders. It’s probably the reason why I do 90 percent of my work in bars. How the hell else are you going to build a movement without giving a shit about the people serving it first. Well, last night was filled with reminders as to why we do what we do. Elena and I met up with the waitresses from Dip at PM nightclub in the meatpacking to get our pre-drink on. Dip has been doing so fucking well with our brands that it was time we showed our appreciation to the people making it happen. PM’s signature cocktail, of course is Zygo, Passion fruit and I think lime…pretty damn good. After that we headed out across 9th Ave. to One Little West 12th street to see Bernie Bernstein, GM extraordinaire. About 2 years ago, One picked up about 5 cases (12 bottles each) of Zygo because Bernie thought it was the tits. After the purchase I was out of town for a couple of weeks. When I got back there was already a reorder for a few more cases. Turns out that Bernie turned his entire staff onto it and it became his personal house drink, with the One Bellini (Zygo included) on the menu. Bernie we really appreciate all the love, and I hope we’ve done right. The food there is great and the barstaff is great group of Brooklynites from my old neighborhood in Bayridge. I highly recommend it. Ask Mr. Bernstein to show you a little of his flair bartending which is definitely an under appreciated art here in New York. It was really great to see you Bern, and we look forward to seeing the new ideas you have for Zygo. Much Love!!!

After countless rounds at One, me and the girls headed over to le souk. Their Sunday night has been and industry standard for 6 years now. I can’t believe le souk has been open now for 6 YEARS. Well it was my cherry for Zygo, meaning it was the first account I sold it into three years ago. They really got what we were doing with Zygo and supported from the beginning. I also think Marcus drank half of it just to jump start our biz there. I didn’t get to see Marcus, but Sam Jacob was there. Me and Elena caught a rare pic with him and as I always do when I’m stumbling around le souk, I expressed my overwhelming gratitude for everything Marcus and Sam has done for our brands. Check out their new Brazilian Steakhouse across the street, Carnivale. Anything Marcus and Sam touch turns to gold.

Also want to say thanks to our bartender at le souk Ray Rivera, I still want that recipe for your Zygo shots for the site. Well, anyone who knows, a few hours of le souk and there is no next spot. You go home and thank god you left in one piece. Until tonight, where we will be out again making the Zygo rounds and documenting the adventure....thanks everybody.
