...as a Bartender? I feel that one should have a signature cocktail. This is mine.

"The Honeypot"

1oz lemon

.75 Sorel liqueur

.5 honey

.5 Italicus

1oz Bounty White Rum

It's been a while, but figure I start up again.

My Contribution to Dry January

Dj’s Corner Best of 2023..

If there’s one thing I hope to elevate this year? Is having spirit free options. I’ve said it once and I will say it again, if you’re sitting at MY bar? I will make whatever you want. Fun fact? I was sober for two in a half years in the infancy of my industry life, so while I was behind the bar? I can say as a patron I drank a lot of soda. Mainly for the reason I got looked at funny if I asked for a Virgin Mojito (I never ordered one, i just needed an example). Time has moved forward and just like time, the innovation of creating spirit free options has evolved. It’s more than just sugar and soda there are many MANY ways to create a one of a kind spirit free libation for that one patron who just wants to enjoy the atmosphere. Last year around this time I had the pleasure of being interviewed on what my thoughts were on the Spirit Free/ Non Alcoholic movement that is happening. I remain on this hill on how I feel about it and as someone who works in the industry? You shouldn’t snub your nose at a patron who doesn’t want a beer or a shot. Here is the link to my contribution to Dry January, and a cocktail you can try, you can top it off with ginger beer or club soda.
