Bartender/ Beer & Spirits Enthusiast

Summary

I'm very intrigued by what Darlings cocktail program has been doing. I love gin and having a fantastic gin bar pop up in town is truly wonderful. Darlings makes my favorite drinks in Louisville, and you all really seem to dig into your imagination with the drinks you compose and seem to be passionate about them. That is the type of place I want to be and I want to be a part of its growth as more folks are drawn to the greatness of gin!

This also applies to running food and drinks, as well as greeting guests at the door and seating them
