Conversing with guests, I enjoy learning about them and their stories. Most folks tend to open up to bartenders more than other people and I meet lots of very interesting folks. I come from the two industries where the customer is always wrong, military and law enforcement, so the change of pace is also rather relaxing. It's also nice to dress elegantly without having to be in the corporate environment.
What is your favorite drink to make and why?Favorite Flavor drink: Negroni, because I have such a sweet personality, it has to be balanced with some bitterness Favorite to make: Flaming Vieux Carre: 3/4 Rye, 3/4 Cognac, 3/4 Sweet Vermouth, 3/4 Benedictine stirred. Absinthe rinse in a tempered glass, light on fire, express orange peel over the flame, drop the orange peel in the glass. Pour the cocktail mixture over the flame to extinguish it. I might be a slight pyromaniac...
What would you do with the $20,000?I would pay for my two boys to go to private school
