What I love most is the endless possibilities in this craft. Whether I'm working with fresh herbs, spices, or unique spirits,I enjoy experimenting with different ingredients to create something extraordinary.I love the alchemy of it-the way 2 flavors blend together to form something new, or how an unexpected twist can elevate a classic drink into an unforgettable one.It's so fulfilling to see a concept in my mind take shape & watch my guest enjoy the result.
What is your favorite drink to make and why?Crafting a classic Old Fashioned is my favorite aspect of the bar. This timeless cocktail, with its simple yet sophisticated composition,offers a perfect canvas to showcase a bartender's skill & attention to detail. At the heart of my Old Fashioned is a fresh Demerara syrup. Demerara sugar, known for its rich, caramel-like flavor, adds depth& complexity that standard simple syrups often lack.The Old Fashioned is more than just a cocktail; it's a measure of a bartender's dedication to their craft
What would you do with the $20,000?Winning the $20,000 is a significant milestone in my journey to establish a bartending school& bar event space.This funding will be instrumental in acquiring a NYS Liquor License,a crucial step toward operating legally &offering a full range of services.The remaining funds will be allocated to developing a dynamic space where aspiring bartenders can learn& guest can enjoy unique events.This investment brings me closer to realizing my vision of creating a hub for mixology ed & bar experiences
