My Story 📖
Most bartenders learn their craft in big-city bars.
I built mine from the ground up — small towns, long nights, and pure determination, followed by the pursuit of education on all things spirit related.
What I lacked in access, I made up for in creativity and discipline. Through formal training with A Bar Above and the European Bartending School, I honed an instinct for flavor, balance, and presentation that now defines Bender Mixology.
My work has been recognized in regional and international challenges — from Difford’s Hayman’s Gin and Licor 43 to placing 2nd in the regional 2025 Bar Boss competition.
Every cocktail, mocktail, and menu I create reflects that journey — a blend of technical skill, innovation, and passion.
✅ Trained, Certified, & Published
Unlike many who simply use mixologist as a buzzword, I earned it—through formal training, certification, and relentless study. Continuously refining my craft to deliver unforgettable experiences.
✅ Creativity + Approachability
Whether you’re a cocktail enthusiast or someone who doesn’t drink at all, we deliver a fun, creative experience, without the high price point.
✅ Stress-Free Service = Tiered Packages
Clear options, preset menus, and full setup-to-cleanup. Everything is handled with care, from start to finish.
✅ Seasonal, Sustainable, and Story-Driven
Each menu is crafted to balance creativity and budget—from crowd pleasing classics to themed signature recipes, each menu is designed with seasonality and sustainability in mind.
✅ Largest Private Bar Inventory in the Region
From rare international spirits to seasonal local ingredients, my bar inventory allows for limitless options for your menu. Every event has its own unique menu.
Choose from any of our portfolio recipes, check out our archive of featured cocktails, or have me craft something new just for you.
Nothing wasted, everything crafted: our cocktails and mocktails are sustainably made. From peel to pour, we take pride in crafting leftover ingredients into liquid gold.

Thank you, Kelsie! 100% recommend!

From the moment we connected, Kelsie's creativity and enthusiasm shone through. Kelsie took the time to really understand the essence of our event, sharing her fun and collaborative spirit as we imagined every drink reflecting the themes of the event. Kelsie's knowledge of mixology is truly a gift, and her ability to craft unique, flavorful beverages left such a great impression on our guests!
Kelsie worked with a keen attention to detail, bringing a sense of artistry to her work, and ensuring every drink was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. Additionally, her friendly and warm personality meant so much to me, and it was amazing to see all of the smiles from our guests as they enjoyed their drinks!

We hired Bender Mixology for a large corporate holiday party with 70 guests, and she exceeded every expectation! From the very beginning, the planning process was seamless and stress-free.
She created a custom cocktail menu, complete with beautifully designed signage that made it easy for everyone to choose their drinks.
During the event, she managed the crowd effortlessly, keeping up with the demand while maintaining a cheerful and professional demeanor. Watching her craft cocktails was a highlight for our guests-her skills are truly impressive!
From start to finish, it was a 5-star experience, and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommend Bender Mixology for any event!

We booked with Kelsie for our wedding, and she was so kind, easy to work with, professional, and went above and beyond in every aspect. Her hand crafted cocktails were absolutely DELICIOUS!
