In September of 2023, Bar or Brew Owner Kaitlyn Hickey met with Society Life's review editor, Jennifer Sloan. Here's what Kaitlyn said Inspired her to start our favorite event bartending service! 

"Being a guest at quite a few weddings in the fall of 2018 and currently a full-time bartender, I realized very quickly that the bar should be a separate vendor at events-

and not just a part of the

staffing or catering company. When the most traffic at private events happens at the bar, why wouldn't you want speed, knowledge, and creativity just like you would get at a bar in downtown? When I launched my business in 2019, I promised myself to only use bartenders who have true experience or possess the right personality and work ethic to become some of the very best event bartenders. Almost five years later and I have not broken that"

Whether you're dining in or out, we've got a cocktail that is sure to knock your cupid pattern socks off. We'll cut to the chase now. 

You'll need:

1.5 ounces of your favorite Vodka

1.5 ounces of Pineapple juice

1/2 ounce of light agave

1 ounce of Simply Raspberry Lemonade

1 lemon wedge

Several sprigs of mint

A strawberry or two for garnishes (Cut into hearts by cutting the stem at an angle that creates hearts when sliced)

.5-1 ounce of grenadine 

Instructions: Add all of your liquid ingredients, squeeze your lemon wedge, and a few leaves of your mint sprig into a pint glass with ice. If you have a shaker tin shake it up!  Pour into your drinking cup and place one of your heart shaped strawberries on top. Pour your grenadine (the more grenadine the sweeter) over and watch your concoction come to life. Garnish with a mint sprig and ENJOY!

Have yourself an amazing cocktail. You deserve it.

 This one will knock you off your witches broom, in the best way possible. It's such a well rounded cocktail that you may just fall off from too many though. With tart berry, sweet lemon, and herbaceous flavors, the only thing that would make this drink better is bubbles. Oh wait, we did that too. 

So here it is, 

HOCUS POCUS

 1oz your choice Gin 

1/2oz fresh lemon juice 

1/2oz simple syrup 

1/2oz raspberry liqueur

 Shake shake shake 

Topped with Champagne and blackberry liqueur 

And garnished with a blackberry
