Full circle moment.
Today marks my last day as your Bacardi Agave Ambassador in Los Angeles. When the opportunity came to move from one side of the bar to the other, I could only do so with a brand and a team I knew and loved and trusted. Patrón was that brand and more.
Massive thank you to @imbibe_and_enjoy and @mixecutive for trusting and supporting me to embark on this journey with them. From Canada, to Kentucky, to Mexico, to LA, it's been a ride! And to @roberto.nunez.moreno for guiding the ship in the right direction. Highlighting the people who deserve the credit most. A damn inspiration.
BA team, i love you. Stay in touch.
And to the Los Angeles bar community, you all made this a safe and creative landing in a way I'll always be thankful for. The pals I've made in the almost two years as your neighbour will be sticking around for life.
Time to go put in some work for the next chapter. New opportunities, with old friends. Focusing on a positive impact to a greater good, and having some fun along the way. Stay tuned for what's next!
Keep your stick on the ice.

!!GRID POST!!😮
It’s been a really weird start to the year. There is a lot going on, a bit extra here in LA, but things are moving and they’re moving fast. That said, we apologize if we haven’t seen you in person this past week and been able to share to news face to face. We’re off for a new adventure in SF and we’d love to see some friendly faces before we pack up and go. If you can, please join us next Monday at Real Charmer where we’ll be mixing up some cocktails for multiple causes. Thank you, Los Angeles, for welcoming us to your city and all the memories we’ll be taking with us. We’ll also take all the hugs you’ll give 💛
Did someone order a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT?!
Just kidding. Worst kept secret in show business. BUT, I am incredibly excited and humbled to officially announce that I have joined the best team in all the land, as a BA for @patron !
I've had a close relationship with this brand for the vast majority of my career, and I really can't imagine any other even coming close to representing the values, humanity, and just damn good quality of product that Patron Tequila represents. I couldn't be more honoured to get to share the incredible story, goodwill, and juice with you all!
Huge thank you to @mixecutive and @gingerbartender for getting me started on this journey years ago. And to @imbibe_and_enjoy and @to_imbibe for supporting and mentoring me through this process. Can't wait to do you all proud.
And finally, the stars have aligned and @badguygoodtequila and I are actually on the same team together! Watch out world, Light and Refreshing coming at you full force in the near future. Can't wait to do incredible things with you and this tequila, my brother 🙏
Looking forward to a drink with all of you soon.
Cheers! 🥂

These two finally got to celebrate their wedding yesterday, with actual guests!
Honoured to have been wedding crasher/chauffeur/prop holder 1 of 1 back in Scotland, and to stand with you through the festivities yesterday. Always show up for your homies.
Congrats @chefphilipd and @tammyexplores !
When the city loses its lustre, its time to go home to the woods. It's been one hell of a ride, these past couple of years, but I can not be more excited to join this team of absolute beauties at @theoutfitterbar in Temagami, Ontario. Bringing the best vibes, hospitality, drinks, and food to northern Ontario is a dream come true. Come visit. We've got plenty of room on the lake. ✌️

Hey friends,
This coming Sunday, November 10th, we are beyond pleased to celebrate Viaggio Restaurants one year anniversary! What a year(!) it has been and we couldn’t have done it without you. To mark the occasion we are hosting a Cicchetti & Libations celebration (small plates and cocktails) between the hours of 6pm-11pm, and would love for you to join us. Chef Jon Vettraino will be cooking a few of our hits along with some fresh new dishes specifically for the party. Grab a seat at our family style harvest table, or pop in for a quick cocktail and a hello. Either way, we would be honoured to celebrate with you.
Please RSVP to [email protected]
See you on Sunday!
Spirit of Toronto festival over and done with. Seems we were quite popular this year. Certainly doesn't hurt to have the @teeling_whiskey and @dewars line ups to steal the show! .

First night in the books! Oooh man it’s good to be back with the team. Didn’t even have a chance to snap a shot mid action but holy smokes, we have a restaurant.
