One of my favorite creations was a specialty cocktail featured on a limited-edition seasonal menu. Inspired by the season's flavors, I developed the recipe from concept to execution, balancing unique ingredients with approachable flavors while ensuring consistency, cost efficiency, and strong guest appeal.

 

The cocktail quickly became one of the menu's standout offerings and showcased my ability to pair creativity with a thoughtful understanding of consumer preferences.

Shaken with Ice and Strained into a chilled martini glass.

This cocktail was inspired by my fathers love for cognac. The cacao and demarara syrup reflects my mother's caribbean roots.  Chambord reflects my personal taste for the dark and slightly mysterious. The Bailey's provides a velvet texture to this indulgence.

I created specialty cocktails for holiday themed menu for a Naughty Christmas celebration at a private lifestyle club. The membership-only club was BYOB so the task was to create a fun, cheeky and naughty drink menu that would compliment most house spirits. The demographic were mature adults from the ages of 45 to 60. The goal was to create beverages that were health conscious, refreshing and using natural sugars.

​

Each drink was designed to match the event's theme while delivering creative, memorable drinks that enhanced the overall guest experience.
