Affluent Spirits-It’s Giving, Opulence

The second we meet you know you are getting an experienced, educated mixologist. A mixologist who makes her own syrups, tonics, uses only fresh ingredients, my credentials alone is a brand in itself. My company’s name is Affluent Spirits-for people wanting a taste of opulence: Pricing varies from client to client: Bartending rates start at $100/hr, Mixology rates starting at $150/hr. There’s pricing for packages as well. Repeat clients, referrals all receive discounts. I offer payment plans, I am willing to work with you, if you want me behind the bar we will make it happen.

When meeting with potential clients I like to meet in person, that way we can feel each other out, I want you to be able to trust me. I want you to walk away knowing that your beverage program is one less thing you have to worry about. During our consultation we just get to know each other and I help you come up with a plan for your event/special occasion. I operate on a client-to-client basis, what worked for this bride, might not work for this one. As a mixologist I cater the beverage program that represents you.

I am a multi-state certified mixologist, I graduated Cum Laude with my Associates in Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management. I am a member of Chilled 100-(a global network of industry people) I’m a past squirrel at Camp Runamok-a bartender driven initiative topped with tours and workshops, one of the hardest programs to get into; some people have tried several times and not gotten, I made it through my first try, and now I will be returning as a counselor next year. I also am on track to be certified in Canadian Whisky and Scotch; I mention certifications because not everyone has the opportunity to obtain these, it’s not something you can just look up online, these are courses offered by the Master Distiller themselves. I am consistently learning, constantly creating, anything you could do to enhance your craft, I do. I am one of the most versatile mixologists out there, my knowledge expands beyond one particular spirit, I could never learn enough, I will never get bored. Plus how can you get bored with something you’re in love with, that doesn’t even make sense.

I started working at The Brown Hotel and I was shocked when I realized how many people visit Kentucky for bourbon, so I decided to educate myself and that begins my love story with spirits.

With the versatility in my background in this industry I have clients ranging from CEOs to club promoters. I have serviced bar for celebrities and clients who work a 9-5. I have tended bar at music festivals, poker nights, girls night, repasts, bourbon tastings/pairings. From the novice bourbon lover to the author of a bourbon book.

I recently completed a Business of Bartending Certification offered by Bacardi through FIU.

Meet with your potential bartender/mixologist in person; it’ll allow you to see the difference between someone who is telling you what you want to hear compared to someone who wants to make you a memory that you will cherish for a lifetime.

What is their budget for the beverage program? Do they want to hire a bartender or mixologist? What do they want their beverage program to look like; for example: are you wanting nostalgic keg stand vibes or more of a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills vibe? You should ask the professional why do you think you should hire them. You should ask for their experience with this type of event.
