Bartender

Hi there! I've been a bartender at the same restaurant for over 10 years. My favorite spirits to work with are rum (love a good tiki drink!), gin and amaros. I love to garden and I often use the herbs and produce I grow to make syrups and infusions. Cheers y'all! ...

Editor's Note

Amaro Montenegro and Cynar replace rum in this bitter-forward Mai Tai riff. The result is a complex, herbal sipper that balances nutty orgeat against deep, vegetal undertones.
