I love trying new ingredients, learning new techniques, and of course, creating new cocktails-- especially ones influenced by food in some way. I also love the photography/videography side of things. I’m incredibly passionate about my craft but try not to take myself too seriously. Cheers!...

For the lavender gin, combine 1 tsp dried lavender buds and 5 oz gin in a mason jar. Infuse at room temperature for 24 hours.
