MEET THE ARTIST

I always wanted to be a bartender – my parents often tell stories of me making them “cocktails” using whatever was in my mom’s spice cabinet when I was in grade school. Now, I run my own bar where I get to work with my hands and create something special that people consume and enjoy. My cocktails are simple but delicious, which means using quality ingredients and modern techniques to spice up the classic drink recipes.

FAVORITE BAR INGREDIENT

The ingredient I chose to help develop is Lavender Syrup, because using a naturally flavored syrup is a simple way to add a new and exciting variation to an old favorite. Even the simplest cocktail can be elevated by using high-quality ingredients.
