Who am I?

It’s a good question! My name is Megan, welcome to my world. I have been bartending for almost 10 years, nearly a full decade. So, I have a bit of experience behind me. my journey started at the young age of 18, when I got my first bar job – I hated it!

But as I figured things out, I began to enjoy the creativity, the freedom and the fun that comes from the hospitality industry. Now, at 28, I have done everything from barback to bar manager and worked across 3 different continents.

A Life Full of Travel

Right this moment I am traveling the world and continuing to gain experience in customer service, wine and spirit knowledge and of course crafting my own cocktails.

The purpose of this blog is to help and educate professional and home bartenders alike. Sharing obscure knowledge, fun stories and hopefully igniting the same passion in others as I have in me. So please join me on my journey.

My career in hospitality has opened up a wide world full of good friends, amazing travels and life changing experiences. I want to help you get that chance too
