What do you love about your city?

San Diego is Home! A beautiful city with the best view, the best skyline, the best people and the best communities. Being a part of Hillcrest and the LGBTQ+ community has given me a community to call Family. I love this city and my community.

Cocktail Inspiration:

I love a direct drink with a hint of sweet and salty. This drink gives you all that goodness in one plus the bit from the Jägermeister cold brew. It really accents each other. Combining the Jägermeister Cold Brew with a single malt scotch and then balancing it out with smoked sea salt with a bit of Madagascar vanilla foam is just what the cocktail doctor ordered.

My inspiration is these cozy nights we have been having lately and the trend of everyone wanting espresso (or any coffee forward) martinis. I love San Diego! I am a bar & restaurant owner and a member of our community of Hillcrest. Hillcrest is the heart and soul of the LGBTQ+ community.
