Sunny Lam

Welcoming Sunny ❤️‍🔥 For one night only, May 24th. Trust us, you don’t wanna miss it

Wanderlust . Snæfellsnes | Iceland | Europe . I adventure into the unknown because I fear complacency and mediocrity. We are spoon fed this notion that familiarity and stability is the answer, but in my truth, I find comfort in chaos.. When you are out of your comfort zone, you open yourself to the possibilities of life and that is the beauty of the human experience. I choose not to just exist, but to live, learn, and grow. .

Rickhouse . Lynchburg | Tennessee | USA . Invited out by Jack Daniel’s and what a wonderful time. Sometimes I think I was meant to be a southern boy. The southern drawl is just so appealing. . . . . . #lynchburg #tennessee #whisky #jackdaniels #bourbon

❄️ As the festive season settles in, some drinks just feel like home. Hot Jugolick is one of those drinks for Sunny Lam, a boozy hot chocolate inspired by his Hong Kong roots and childhood memories of Ovaltine. Pronounced JOO-GO-LICK, Jugolick is Cantonese for chocolate and a playful nod to the British English influence on Hong Kong. Sunny pairs it with Abuelita Mexican hot chocolate and reposado tequila for a California twist, balanced with cream sherry for depth and a hint of salinity.☕ Topped with salted hojicha cream and a black sesame umbrella cookie, each sip is comforting, playful, and perfectly festive. The umbrella cookie carries nostalgic memories for many first generation Asian Americans, a sweet reminder of childhood treats. 🎄 Swipe to see Sunny’s full recipe and festive serve in a ceramic tea cup ✨ What flavors bring you back to your childhood this holiday season? . . . . .

Drinkboi . Oakland | California | USA . Been some time since I put up anything on my grid. . These couple of years have been for the books. . • Leaving an amazing, established bar to open up another wildly successful bar. • Getting requests for my work behind other peoples’ bars (Thank you for allowing me into your sacred spaces) • Working with people from some of the most revered and well known bars in North America • Participating in up and coming pop ups as beverage • Being invited to work upscale, private food & beverage events around California • Winning a regional competition with the best of the best here in Oakland • Being inaugurated to @bartendermagazine 26 Bartenders to watch in 2026 . This year, I think I’ve finally realized my insight, my many years of working in hospitality, and the culmination of my own experiences and understanding of this business- actually has value. At times, I still feel as the imposter, the syndrome rears its ugly heads, but I am beginning to turn the corner and embrace my infamy. . For all of you who believed in me, even when I didn’t see it in myself, and for those of you who helped me along this way, I wanted to sincerely say, “Thank you.” I am eternally grateful. The people that I have around me are so non-conditionally supportive, I can’t even put into words how astonished at how amazing they all are to me. . Gonna take a back burner seat for a bit, but I’m excited to see what opportunities come 2026! . 📸: @_bambiiiiiii_ 🎥: @karlosmarx 🎥: @crismendoza 📸: @fox_zilla . . . . . #bartender #bartending #bar #cocktails #sf #bayarea #oakland #bayareabartender
