Craziest story a patron has ever told me? hmmmm…. I think I’ve seen crazier things than stories told.

Strangest drink I have ever gotten is a Jager White Russian, Ick!

Favorite drink on the Mex 1 Menu is the “El Jefe” with a Grand Mariner Float and then the Hydrator!

Favorite drink to make has always been a margarita but I fully enjoy creating and experimenting with new cocktails even more…
Any other interesting tidbits you’d like to share?
I’ve bartended all along the east coast and I love learning new exciting things in the mixology field. Here in Charleston I have been challenged, I’ve competed, and I have learned so much so far in this industry. There are so many talented bartenders in this beautiful city that constantly inspire and spark interests in new evolving spirits in this industry. This is by far my favorite place so far ☺️
