The one behind the bar...
Hospitality is in the details
With more than 25 years in hospitality, I've spent my career behind the bar and around the table - from fine dining to craft cocktail bars, cocktail competitions, and crafting private dining experiences alongside chefs.But intimate hospitality is about more than making a great cocktail. It's knowing how to move through someone's home with ease: keeping a clean, organized workspace, anticipating what's needed, being warm and attentive without being intrusive, and knowing when to step in and when to step back.The goal is simple: thoughtful drinks, polished service, and making your guests feel genuinely taken care of.
Make it yours.
Your menu can be classics, seasonal, completely custom, or somewhere in between.
Every gathering is different. During our pre-event consultation, we'll build a cocktail menu around your tastes, your guests, the season, and the occasion- whether that means putting a fresh spin on a classic or creating something entirely from scratch.
