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

Fig syrup and orgeat create a rich, nutty base that highlights the molasses notes in the rum. A refreshing, tiki-inspired sipper with a distinct California flair.
