I think all of us got into bartending that way. I was working at Joe’s American Bar & Grill, it was a super busy Saturday because of WaterFire, we were down a bartender and they threw me on the bar because I knew the cocktail recipes. The gang at Rogue Island Kitchen and Barįrom left to right: McKenzie Buckley, Kandace Richmond, Amanda Leigh, Bill Pietras, Ryan Bessette, Jacqui Macek, rotating answers at random. We sing, we dance and serve up great food and a mean cocktail!Ģ. Come visit me and my awesome friends over at Troop for a truly fun time. Do you have any strange or unusual stories?Īll I will say is that I’ve experienced everything from impromptu dog sitting to hauntings to embarrassing Tinder dates, and even bats flying around the bar while I’ve been slinging drinks. What’s your favorite type of customer?Īdventurous ones! I love customers who are willing to let me experiment and try weird or unusual flavor combinations.į. I’ve been using candy, sprinkles and cereal in my drinks at Troop a lot.Į.
I’ve done so many that I’m not sure I have just one at this point! I definitely gravitate toward rum or mezcal, but lately I’ve been harkening back to childhood treats. I never like to take myself too seriously. I want the experience to be fun and welcoming. I think what I’m most concerned with is introducing people to new flavors and spirits while maintaining a sense of humor and accessibility. I have a background in art, particularly painting, so the visual aesthetics of making really beautiful or fun cocktails is a huge part of the experience for me. Currently my favorite part of the job is dancing with my guests and coworkers at Troop! We have so much fun there! I also really love the creative outlet of making original drinks.
