Mixology

I learned many tricks of the trade in an exciting two-week program at Chicago’s most renowned bartending training school: A-List Startenders.

A few months of bartending at Prairie Isle Golf Course taught me how to manage a bar and fine-tune my customer relations skills. Oh, I forgot! I make my own drinks too. Check out one of my holiday cocktails below:

Easter Spritz

• 1 shot of Vodka

• Half Passion Fruit Truly

• Half Fever-Tree Sparkling Grapefruit Juice

  Mix

• Add Grenadine

• Add Maraschino Cherry

• Add whipped cream to rim

• Add banana (bunny ears) as garnish

• Add whatever Easter-related decoration of your choosing

Shots Anyone?

A pourer is essential for learning how to time your pours as a bartender. Beginners can use water and an empty liquor bottle to practice their pour timing and proper grip. Soon you’ll be able to pour shots for your friends smoothly.
