My Story 📖

Most celebrated bartenders sharpen their skills in big-city bars with mentors guiding them. My journey was different. From humble roots to long nights behind the bar in small towns, I built myself up through grit, curiosity, and creativity. Traveling and developing eclectic tastes gave me a perspective not often found in the Midwest — one that now shapes the innovative cocktails and experiences I create.

What I lacked in access, I made up for with creativity, discipline, and a natural instinct for flavor, balance, and presentation. I dedicated myself to ongoing education, studying the trends and techniques shaping cocktail culture in places like LA and New York. Formal training through A Bar Above and the European Bartending School only sharpened what I was already born to do.

Along the way, I’ve tested myself in international, national, and private submission challenges — including Difford’s Hayman’s Gin, Licor 43, Flor de Caña, and a USBG Prosecco competition. In 2025, I placed second in the regional Bar Boss competition — a milestone that reinforced my dedication to innovation and continuing to refine my skillset.

Today, that path shows up in every detail — from innovative cocktails and sustainable recipes to curated styling that elevates each event. I didn’t inherit my craft. I built it.

✅ Professionally Trained = Elevated Craft
From small-town bars to international features, I’ve built myself into a different league of bartending through relentless education, certifications, and a passion for innovation.

✅ Largest Private Bar Inventory in the Region
Hundreds of spirits, liqueurs, and mixers — curated so your menu isn’t limited to what’s on a shelf, and any idea or preference can be brought to life.

✅ Signature Menus & Sustainable Recipes
Seasonal, farm-to-glass cocktails and mocktails designed with intention — no shortcuts, no cookie-cutter drinks. Just respect for the ingredients.

✅ Stress-Free Service = Tiered Packages
Clear options, preset menus, and full setup-to-cleanup. Everything handled, so you can actually enjoy your event. Work with me to build a signature menu or choose a preset option and hassle free approach.

✅ Collaboration Over Competition
We support and uplift quality businesses — because community and creativity always taste better when shared.

Choose from any of our portfolio recipes, check out our archive of featured cocktails, or have me craft something new just for you. Creative craft cocktails that elevate your event and showcase your style.

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.

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!
