Excited to have a F&B based Blog Site!

I have worked in F & B for the last 7 years. I am a Bartender (Mixologist) and love to make new drink recipes. I made this blog so I can post them and I hope people will try them and let me know what they think. I am very passionate about what I do! Hopefully I can get people to my blog that love Food, Drinks or working in the business as much as i do. Everyone who works in this business knows it is stressful at times and crazy things happen alot. I will be posting more than recipes anything Food and Beverage related.
