A Deliciously Decadent Partnership: The Cocktail Architect x Gastronome NYC & The Hudson Valley

We are loving Gastronome's Spring forward menu as much as our cocktail menu. Vibrant, colorful, flavorful and playful. I have worked with Johnathan for over 20 years when I had lived in the city. We refound each other last year through an event that he hired me for and the future looks amazing. We are focused on executing experiences for a client that is looking to have that WOW in every bite and sip. We are able to offer our services in NYC and The Hudson Valley, starting now.

The Art of the Mocktail: The Golden Hour is catching on and why Mixology is the New Branding Power Move!

I was hired by my new favorite high energy PR partner, Solcomms, based in New York City, to create a Mocktail for Naturepedic, an organic mattress company. There showroom was in Williamsburg, NY and editors were invited to test out the mattresses and to sip on my mocktail. We purposely kept booze out of this drink as it disrupts your natural sleep patterns and to give them an uplifting experience while at the showroom. The drinks was named Sleep Some More and consisted of the calming and elevating herbs, Lemon Balm and Chamomile. These herbs were infused in a local honey in upstate New York. We added some fresh lemon juice and embelished the drink with a Danthus Bi-Color edible flower. The night was a success and looking forward to many more.

In an age where consumers crave experiences over things, cocktails have become more than just beverages—they’re statements. A well-crafted drink tells a story, evokes emotion, and transforms any event into an immersive, multi-sensory delight.
