MEET THE ARTIST

From Pirouettes to Pina Colada, performance art has always been my passion in life; first as a dancer and now as a Cocktail Artist. I am a proud child of two Puerto Rican parents and while I wasn’t born on the island, my blood runs wild with pride. After I graduated from college, I went back into bartending and quickly realized that I had found my career. I started taking every course and seminar I could and worked extremely hard to hone my skills as a craft bartender and bar manager.

FAVORITE BAR INGREDIENT

Being that the Pina Colada was invented in Puerto Rico, I didn’t choose the mix, the mix chose me. I tell people that my ethnicity is Puerto Rican and my blood type is Pina Colada. This mix is great because it is the prefect substitute for the classic recipe that is used at the Caribe Hilton Hotel in San Juan.
