I love cocktails and my aim is to share that love of cocktails with you. From Manhattans to Mai Tais, Gimlets to Flips, and everything in between, I want to make sure that you are having the best possible drinking experience in the comfort of your own home. I always tell my friends: "I'm not looking for you to drink more...JUST BETTER"!
"Never miss a party - good for the nerves..."

As a certified mixologist, I would love to bring the class and elegance of craft cocktails to your next gathering. I have done this for private parties, formal dinners, and office events throughout the Hudson Valley and have also been commissioned to design signature cocktails for milestone moments. You can find more details and packages on my Events page.

Okay, we've got your next party covered. But what about you? Maybe it's Tuesday and you just want to fix yourself a nice Martini. Or you're having a few people over after work - very impromptu - but still, you'd like to fix them something nice to drink. Well, this is where my day job comes in. I am a music teacher. A really good one. My award-winning career spans almost three decades and I can bring my passion for education right to your home in the form of classic cocktails. My tutorials are perfect for intimate gatherings where you and I (and maybe a few like-minded friends) will talk cocktail basics. I will show you how to stir that Martini to perfection (yes, STIR...you'll learn why in class) or how and why we shake that oh-so-refreshing Margarita. I'll bring all my tools, talk about history, and we can even use my specialty glassware. You can find more details and packages on my Master Class page.
So whether we're talking classic cocktails, modern riffs, or signature creations - for office events, cocktail dinners, or a class at home, let's discuss what I could bring to the table...well, bar for you.
