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

Grapefruit liqueur and fresh juice meet in this bright, citrus-forward sour. A sparkling wine float adds a crisp, effervescent finish.
