I had a blast tending bar on Chautauqua Lake this past Friday night!
🌺💦🍹🥃💯
An impeccable setup, great guests, stellar host and amazing location.
With Forte closed temporarily, I’m available for Special Events, Pop-Ups & Guest Shifts. #FrontierMixology

I would love to check into a hotel, get drunk at the bar, arm wrestle a stranger, get socked in the jaw, wake up on clean sheets nursing a hangover and open the blinds to greet the new day. But for the time being, I patiently await the vaccine.
Big tropical flavor & ginger kick. The can says “Go ahead, book your flight. You’re going somewhere!” But you’re not. It’s quarantine. Yet still, having this with fresh lime in your backyard wearing a hoodie by a fire as daylight disappears on this chilly Cinco De Mayo? It’s good
Maui Mule “ready to drink” canned cocktail.
Grain neutral spirits with passion fruit and ginger. Produced by Cardinal Spirits of Bloomington, Indiana. A tropical, sweet and spicy mule in a can — with a dry, back-of-the-throat ginger flavor that lingers.
ABV
6.5%

It’s always so nice to hear from friends during this quarantine isolation! Everyone’s getting antsy, I know... and I wanna start mixing more than anything else! #NickDeanCocktailDeliveryService@RyanNajuch
I saw on Twitter yesterday that a veteran bartender has a website set up to take cocktail commissions from people based on their home ingredients... and I’m glad to see that this style of service is becoming a trend!
Bored with your drinks during these ongoing quarantine days?
New cocktail recipes are nice, but will surely require a run to the store to grab ingredients. So this occurred to me: What if new cocktail recipes happened to be tailored specifically to your at home ingredients?
Legend has it that if you hold a glass of rosé up to the window in the evening, you can see the tropical beach sunset you’re missing out on because COVID-19 canceled your spring break vacation.
