Hi, just me making the cut to the TOP 10 BEST INTERNATIONAL BRAND AMBASSADOR for the 2023 Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards!! 
✨
I am soooooooooooo happy. 
So, so, SO HAPPY. 
I do work hard and I do know that this is well deserved.
Since my move to the corporate side, I have been a proud and fierce advocate for the bartending community and implementing a non-negotiable standard for fair pay. “Visibility does not pay the bills” is part of my constant pitch to brands and marketing agencies.
I pride myself in being close to the Canadian bartending community for years and host some of the nicest spirits & craft-cocktail events in Canadian territory, while focussing on sustainable event-planning practices and a firm anti single-use material ban.
Being considered for Best International Brand Ambassador is a wonderful testament to my tireless work to make our spirits & cocktail industry healthier & more fun !! #Ambassadoroffun !
Thank you so, SO much for this nomination @tales_of_the_cocktail !! taken in Montreal, Quebec by @leamessier

Looks like I’m about to mix olive oil and balsamic vinegar 🤣👌🏼
In fact, it’s Manzanilla and Port, and this is a CRAZY recipe, try it if you have a bottle of Torres 20 hanging around 🥃

PLANET OF THE GRAPES
1 oz Torres 20
0.75 oz Manzanilla sherry
0.75 oz Port
👉🏼 Stir, strain in chilled coupe & express orange zest

MONTRÉAL! ON SE VOIT À LA JOURNÉE PRO D’INVASION COCKTAIL?

Mardi 22 septembre, de 13 h à 18 h, je prends les commandes pour animer toute une journée de masterclasses, cocktails et compétition. Et comme c’est aussi mon anniversaire, j’ai apparemment décidé que la meilleure façon de célébrer était de travailler au micro pendant 5 heures. 🎂🎤

Au programme :
🌲 LA NORDICITÉ AU CŒUR DU VERRE
avec Frédérique Folly — Distillerie du Fjord

🇮🇹 DES REMÈDES AUX COCKTAILS
avec Maximilien Jean, autour des spiritueux et liqueurs italiens, de leurs origines médicinales à leur place derrière le bar aujourd’hui.

Et on termine dès 16h30 avec la GRANDE FINALE DU BARTENDER CHALLENGE ✈️🍸
4 bartenders. 4 destinations thématiques ET 1000 $ à dépenser chez Alambika — aka le Toys“R”Us des bartenders. 😏

🇮🇸Jacques Barneto — Projet Pilote → Islande
🇲🇽 Txomin Cartry — 132 Bar Vintage → Mexique
🇯🇵 Emilio Reyes — Milky Way → Japon
⚜️ Dustin Gendron Lépine — Les Cavistes → Gaspésie

Le Jury: Fanny Gauthier, Claudia Doyon, Drahos Chytry & Juliette Gofard.

📍 Journée Pro — Invasion Cocktail
📅 Mardi 22 septembre
⏰ 13 h à 18 h

Venez apprendre, encourager nos quatre finalistes, boire de bonnes choses et, accessoirement, me souhaiter bonne fête. 🎂🍸

À mardi! Toutes les infos sur invasioncocktail.com taken in Entrepôts Dominion by @leamessier

Quand des entreprises québécoises se supportent, ça donne de très belles (et bonnes) choses 🫶

Hier, on célébrait le nouveau Fin Soda Rhubarbe-Camomille Fizz, créé en collaboration avec Le Cuisinomane. Une collaboration qui nous ressemble : locale, créative et surtout, dangereusement délicieuse.

Un énorme merci à Satay Brothers pour leur confiance et pour nous avoir prouvé que l’accord canette + bouffe pouvait être pas mal trop parfait 🌼🥢

On trinque à la créativité d’ici, aux belles collaborations et à ceux qui choisissent de se supporter entre eux.

Longue vie aux collabos québécoises 💚
