Summary
As Lead Mixologist I was chiefly responsible for menu creation, in depth knowledge of various spirits, and helping customers find exactly what they were looking for. In addition to this I spent ample time with the distillery production crew to learn as much about their processes as possible, and often working with them when we required something specific to make an idea work.
