📍 ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ꜰʀᴏᴍ? Michigan
🗓️ ʜᴏᴡ ʟᴏɴɢ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴏʀᴋᴇᴅ ᴀᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘᴀᴛᴛᴇʀꜱᴏɴ ʜᴏᴜꜱᴇ? A year and two months
👤 ᴡʜᴏ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ ʙᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴅʀᴇᴀᴍ ʙᴀʀ ɢᴜᴇꜱᴛ? My dream bar guest would be Paul Rudd, he seems like he’d be a really fun guy to make drinks for, plus it’d be a small way to say thanks for all the times he’s made me laugh.
💡 ᴛᴇʟʟ ᴜꜱ ᴀ ʟɪᴛᴛʟᴇ ʙɪᴛ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ʜᴏᴡ ʏᴏᴜ ᴅʀᴇᴀᴍᴇᴅ ᴜᴘ ᴛᴇᴀᴄʜᴇꜱ ꜰᴏʀ ᴘᴇᴀᴄʜᴇꜱ. I love tropical drinks, so getting to put a spin on the classic cocktail Port Light by Trader Vic was really fun! Adding different ingredients like Peychaud’s Bitters, Absinthe, and Lo-Fi Gentian Amaro and using local Tennessee Wh***ey adds a fun new character to the drink, that some people may find too sweet.
🍑 ᴛᴇᴀᴄʜᴇꜱ ꜰᴏʀ ᴘᴇᴀᴄʜᴇꜱ 🍑 Old Dom Bourbon, Lo-Fi Gentian, Passionfruit, Peach, Lemon, Pomegranate
