My Entry for Craft the Fun Cocktail Competition with is "Macaw Macaw" and it is a play on one of my favorite tropical cocktails, the Jungle Bird. I chose to use Deep Eddy Lime Vodka for its vibrant fruity notes and paired it with a rich banana and brown sugar spiced syrup. I used the classic bird of paradise pineapple crown garnish with a cherry and a tanghulu banana.

The beach is obviously calling my name and was my inspiration. A perfect day filled with friends playing in the waves and sipping something delicious in our cup before heading back to the beach house. Something that was thoughtful and would bring back memories of past summers. This cocktail would also translate to a beach bonfire in the evening as we recount the moments of our day.

Rye’z & Shine

After the chill of winter starts to waver we begin to prepare for St. Patrick’s Day. It’s a symbol of celebration, jubilation, and the rebirth of the warmer days of Ohio. Rye’z & Shine is a representation of a warmer spring sunshine peeking through the window and waking up nature. This is a combination of two of my favorite Irish whiskey cocktails, The Sour and The Irish Maid. To add a special Irish touch, I made my own Dianthus Tea syrup. Dianthus is a symbol of admiration and native to Ireland.

Back in November I had the privilege of sitting on a panel to have a very unscripted conversation about Raising the Bar: Choose your own Adventure. I couldn’t have picked a better group of people to sit with. I have so much respect for each and everyone of them and extra kudos to Steven Huddleston for taking lead. Check out the article!

This is a little sneak peak of some photos I
using a powerful female owned tequila brand. The name comes from the term "Mi Gente" which translates into "My People". This shoot was just that. It was a representation of finding the people that see you, that help you find your spark, that see your crazy as beautiful. I can't wait to share more of this amazing shoot with you.
