Winnie (@winnie_the_frenchiepooh) from Chicago, IL is one of the most loved frenchies on Instagram. She has a cool story with her parents Jay & Nicole. Read a bit more, comment to send love! How old are you? 2 years old. What one day in your life looks like? A lot of sleeping and chasing my wubba. What's your favorite treat? I love strawberries & red bell peppers the most! Which part of yourself that you are most proud of? Very proud of my petite shape. I think my bottom is pretty cute. What's your favorite thing and least favorite thing about your parent(s)? Favorite: that they talk to me like I'm human and let me sleep in bed with them Least favorite: when they don't give me their food and don't let me sleep in their bed Who are your favorite frenchie friends on Instagram? I love @lolabarksdale & @tacobear Markel Presley Fox (@markelpresley) from New York is one of the most loved frenchies on Instagram. He has a cool story with his pawrents Evan and Diana. Read a bit more, comment to send love! How old are you? Mom and Dad say I'm a baby but I'm already ~1.5 years old! What is your hidden talent? I may seem like a gentle, meek little potato but I LOVE to rough and tumble with bigger dogs - doodles or pitties, the bigger the better! And boy do I hold my own - my signature move is called "The Chubby Missile" where I launch head-first and try to use my nugget weight to disarm the other pup that has a 20+ lb. advantage over me :P What is the most badass/weirdest thing you've done? Once at the park my bro @carlton.banks had a huge 4-5 inch drool strand dangling from his mouth and I went and took it! All the hoomans were aghast at what I did but they probably should've been more freaked out that I know the word 'aghast', right? What's your favorite thing and least favorite thing about your parent(s)? My pawrents must own a farm or something because I get treated to blueberries and strawberries All. The. Time. Our fridge is always fully stocked with fruity goodness and it's definitely not on account of their diet (ice cream much? #isilentlyjudge). On the downside though, they won't leave me alone when I'm trying to mellow out on the couch and catch some ZzZ's. Like, can I live? I don't need a neck rub or belly scratch when my eyes are closed and I'm starting to snore. Also, they force penguin hats and duck raincoats on me. Allegedly due to "weather conditions" *eyeroll Who are your favorite frenchie friends on Instagram? @tuppee_nyc_frenchie, @thedailywalter, @gastonlefrenchie, @murphyownsus, @ohhhromeo, among countless others! The Frenchie community is so strong, and especially here in NYC (#NYFC)! Ivy (@ivy.the.frenchie) from Boston is one of the most loved frenchies on Instagram. He (3 years old) has a cool story with his parents Maureen and Chris. Read a bit more, comment to send love! What’s a day in your life look like? Well, I’m not gonna lie, most of my day consists of sleeping. It’s exhausting being this cute and carrying around this hot little body with only two working legs! Around 7 AM my mom makes me get out of bed, it takes a good 20 minutes to realize I’m awake. I am recently paralyzed, so my mom and dad take turns expressing my bladder (TMI I know but you asked). They then put some cute bloomers on my tush to help with my accidents throughout the day. I then order my breakfast, get upset when the cook forgets to sprinkle parmesan cheese, and take my time eating. I then walk over to my bed (on my two strong legs), make sure I have clean sheets and get some more beauty rest. We then go to the beach or backyard and roll around in wheels to get exercise then we snuggle. It’s a perfect day. Which part of yourself that you are most proud of? My spirit. I was born with four working legs. 9 months ago (around my 3rd birthday) I woke up in pain. The Dr. told me it was my spine and diagnosed me with a disease called IVDD. After an intense spinal surgery, followed up with rehab, acupuncture, water therapy, and laser treatment, I am still paralyzed. Although I do not have the same walk, and may need a little extra help from my family and friends, I do not see myself as any different. I am still the funny feisty girl I have always been, with lots of life to live and love to give. My IG page is dedicated to inspire others to overcome adversity and spread IVDD awareness. Who are you favorite Frenchie friends on Instagram? We now have an IG family full of fur friends overcoming IVDD or a disability. We all support each other, I love each and every one of them! Some of my favorites IG friends are @phoebeonwheels (she is so inspiring/pawsative in her wheels) @pardonmyfrenchie (she makes me belly laugh daily) @murphyownsus (he is just so cute!), @monsieurlouie (fellow IVDD survivor) and although she is not a Frenchie my lab friend @adognamedhazel Hamlin (@hamlin_the_frenchie) from Chicago is one of the most loved frenchies on Instagram. He has a cool story with his parents Grace and Joe. Read a bit more, comment to send love! How old are you? I'm 8. What does one day in your life looks like? - 38% sleeping - 26% following my little human bro around the house while trying to get him to feed me his snacks - 18% avoiding making eye contact with my humans because they want to take me on a walk or go out to lift a leg - 12% napping in a sun spot - 9% having my dad go through a few rounds of negotiation of treats-for-photos with me - 5% picking out the four-course selection of chewy toys for the day - 3% trying to learn addition What's your favorite treat? It's gotta be popcorn...no wait, definitely carrots. And blueberries. I almost forgot about spinach leaves. Actually, it would be easier for me to tell you what I don't eat (besides the list of toxic stuff for dogs that my humans keep away from me). Cilantro. That's it. Which part of yourself that you are most proud of? The fact that I get so many emails and comments from my Fellow IGers saying how my posts help brighten up their day. This makes me feel all warm and fuzzy both inside and outside, and motivates me to keep on smiling for the camera. What's your favorite thing and least favorite thing about your parent(s)? My favorite is when they take me with them on car rides and trips. I've done some fun and strange activities with them- from crab fishing to jet skiing. However, I'm in my happy place as long as I'm included. My least favorite thing is when my mum puts my stuffed toys in the washing machine, which ruins the flavor I worked so hard to infuse into one Who are your favorite frenchie friends on Instagram? A few of my friends are @jaxandfriendschicago, @princealfie, @snortmonster, @vincenzopepito, @markelpresley, @thedailywalter, & @omarcomin_. However, there are many more, enough to turn this into the closing credits of a movie. Gigi(@gigimakesmesmile) from Venice Beach, CA is one of the most loved frenchies on Instagram. She has a cool story with her parents Steph and Dan. Read a bit more, comment to send love! How old are you? I will be turning 2!! Mom has already planned a birthday party for my friends and I! What does one day in your life look like? Once the first rays of sunlight peek through the window, I open my eyes and slowly wiggle my body which then wakes up mom and dad. I am lucky because I get to sleep between them every night and take up as much space as I want. Mom takes me for a walk around the neighborhood and to her favorite coffee shop where I get to say hi to all my human friends. Around dusk every day my parents take me for a walk and to my favorite dog park in our neighborhood where I get to hang out with my dog friends. After eating dinner, I snuggle on the chaise lounge and get a good chew in on my bone. What is the most badasst thing you’ve done? Mom has me trained and registered as a therapy dog, which means I go to hospitals and provide patience with therapeutic remedies, like tons of smiles or lots of hugs and snuggles. During our last visit, I met a patient who had been in a terrible accident. The patient was having a hard time relaxing so while he was petting my head, I laid down and snuggled next to his body. He fell sound asleep and everyone was happy! It really means a lot to my mom and I that we get to help people who need smiles and happiness the most. What’s your favorite thing and least favorite thing about your parents? My favorite thing is when my parent’s are not afraid to forget about being human and roll around on the ground and play with me. My least favorite thing, and I absolutely hate this, is when my parents travel and leave me behind!! I usually punish them after they get home by giving them sideways glances for a day… but then I forgot about what I was mad about and am just happy they are back :) Who are your favorite frenchie friends on instagram? My neighbor @daenerysthefrenchie, my coworker and crush @pierre_dont_care, my sister @frenchie.eggroll, my friends @WTFrenchie, and the ever hysterical @3bulldogges !! Murphy O'Howleran(@murphyownsus) from Boston, MA is one of the most loved frenchies on Instagram. He has a cool story with his parents Rachel and Merl. Read a bit more, comment to send love! Where are you from? How old are you? We are originally from Maryland, but have lived in Boston, MA for four years now. What one day in your life looks like? My days are pretty packed full of activities. I wake up, get my belly rubbed for 10-15 minutes, go outside, eat breakfast, go outside again and sunbathe, and then take a nap for a couple hours. Then, I go outside again and maybe taunt a neighborhood kitty or squirrel or two, depending on my mood. My dad works from home, so we play and have fun! Then, my mom comes home, and we usually go for a long walk to the beach, depending on the weather. What's your favorite treat? ICE CREAM!!!! Or peanut buttah! Which part of yourself that you are most proud of? I am most proud of the fact that I have been able to use some of my Instagram pawpularity to spread the word about frenchies in need. I am an active volunteer with the French Bulldog Rescue Network. You can find me giving my kisses for donations to the French Bulldog Rescue Network at events throughout the year. Those events are a huge hit and all donations go to help offset very large vet bills for the rescue. I am so proud to be a part of such a great rescue organization. What's your favorite thing and least favorite thing about your parents? My favorite thing about my parents is how much they adore me! I love being snuggled up in between them, watching a movie, or when they take me on big adventures. I am their world, and I totally know it. My least favorite thing... We have a three story house, and I hate if mom and dad are on different levels of the house, even if just for a couple minutes. I'll whimper so they know I am not pleased. I miss our loft when I could always see where both of them were at all times. Who are your favorite frenchie friends on Instagram? This is a tough one! I have made so many amazing frenchie friends on Instagram! Some of my favorites are @sofreshandsolily, @twolittlecowdogs, @lolabarksdale, @waltergoodboy, and @ivy.the.frenchie. Bethanee Hamilton (@pardonthyfrench) from Portland, Oregon is one of the most loved frenchies on Instagram. She has a cool story with his mom Lindsay Van Bramer. Read a bit more, comment to send love! What one day in your life looks like? I go everywhere with my mom. From running errands to client meetings, she is my co- pilot in life. What's your favorite treat? Peanut butter and Ellenos Greek yogurt are Beth's favorite treats Which part of yourself that you are most proud of? I'm most proud of having the ability to make people from all across the globe smile on a daliy bases What's your favorite thing and least favorite thing about your parent(s)? My favorite thing about my owner is her constant nub rubs, and my least is when she has boys over... Who are your favorite frenchie friends on Instagram? I have a lot of favorite frenchies on IG are: @misfitsofig first and foremost (ALL OF THEM) Gomi (@gomithefrenchie) from Miami is one of the most loved frenchies on Instagram. Gomi has a cute story to share with his daddy Micha Porat. Read a bit more, comment to send love! How old are you?
 I just turned 3 years old on July 14th so I'm officially big boy now! What one day in your life looks like?
 A day in the life of Gomi include about 10 to 15 play sessions with Daddy. Picking up about 5 to 10 girls (both humans and dogs included, I don't discriminate). And of course a Playdate a day keeps the doctor (vet) away 😜😍😘. What's your favorite treat?
 My favorite treats are definitely pupcakes! I can devour one in a bout a heart beat! Which part of yourself that you are most proud of?
 I'm most proud that I'm a sweet boy and Im all love on the inside 
What's your favorite thing and least favorite thing about your parent(s)? Despite my tough guy exterior 👊🏻💪🏻. My favorite thing about daddy is that he's always there for me and always comes back when he leaves. My least favorite thing about daddy is that he leaves sometimes and then I'm sad and lonely. Who are your favorite frenchie friends on Instagram?
 My favorite frenchie friends on Instagram are @baloublue @lolatheterrible and @shelisrolex and Lola is my official Instagram girlfriend ❤️ Lastly when I met daddy I had a mommy too but my first mommy left me when I was a baby ! Since then I've been trying to help daddy find a new mommy but he may be helpless ! 😱😭 Karl (@spiritandspoon) from Los Angeleshas a cool story with making cocktails. Read a bit more, comment to send love! What got you into cocktails? I got into cocktails as a natural progression my evolving palate once I moved to LA (11 years ago). I started bartending, 15 plus years ago, in a small town on Lake Michigan ... I was always creative, but my resources were limited. I stepped away from full time bartending to become the GM of a small restaurant group before moving to LA where I jumped backed the stick. Once I got to LA, I was blown away by the fresh produce and the had pleasure of working with an amazing culinary duo who opened my eyes and let my creativity & imagination evolve for many of years. What's your favorite recipe? My favorite recipe changes, but this drink is pretty much me in a glass. "Lefties Turn" 1.5 oz Mezcal Barro (clay pot) or Espadin .75 oz Green Chartreuse .75 oz @stgeorgespirits Bruto Stirred. Strained over big cube or up in a coupe. Orange Oil. Pinch of sea salt. What's your fav bar in town? Besides my home bar, I'd have to say @eversonroycebar in DTLA. I just love everything about it. From the staff, amazing food, great cocktail & spirit selection, back patio with bocce ball. Most importantly its unpretentious ... love people who take pride in their craft but don't force it upon you. Drink what you like, period. What inspired you to start this Instagram? Honestly i was inspired to create it as a creative outlet. I left the stick full time around 3 1/2 years ago to help launch a startup distillery, @loftandbear. I missed creating drinks on the daily and had been running the l & b IG for quite sometime when i started photographing cocktails ... so it was just a natural progression to start snapping the other creations that were manifesting in my cranium. What are your favorite mixologist' IG pages? @bobpeters @apartment_bartender @deathandco @barrelageddad @sashadallasgirl Callum Sweeney (@clinkclinkdrink) from Auckland, New Zealand has a cool story with making cocktails. Read a bit more, comment to send love! What got you into cocktails? Ever since I can remember I have been the 'bartender' in my family. Whenever my parents had people over I would always be the one making sure everyone had a drink. I think it was a natural progression from there. I love how sharing a few drink can bring people together and turn a stranger into a friend. I also really value cocktails as an outlet for my creativity. What's your favorite cocktail/ingredient/recipe? My favourite cocktail would have to be an Old fashioned, with the classic Daiquiri being a close second. Dark Rum Old Fashioneds are a real stand-out for me and something I would never turn down - 2 oz @thisisstolen dark rum, 0.5 oz brown sugar syrup, 2 dashes @angosturahouse bitters and a nice orange twist to garnish 👌🥃 What's your fav bar in town? My favourite bar at the moment is @lovebucketbar, a moody cocktail lounge hidden away in my city's former red light district. With one of the biggest gin and rum selections in the city, cocktails on tap, delicious craft beers and tasty platters, it's definitely worth a visit. What inspired you to start this Instagram? I wanted a passion project where I could showcase my creativity outside of my day job. Cocktails seemed like the right fit for me as it's something I'm passionate about which allows me to continually come up with new creations as well as new ways of shooting them. I also love that my Instagram pushes me to try new cocktails and expand my knowledge. I can't get away with making Old Fashioneds over and over! What are your favorite mixologist' IG pages? That's the other awesome thing about starting this instagram - meeting heaps of talented drinkstagrammers from all over the world who are super passionate too. I love following @theamateurmixologist, @barfaith, @servedbysoberon, @mmydrinks, @apartment_bartender, @highproofpreacher, @sashadallasgirl and @theweekendmixologist to name a few. Kurtis Bosley (@cocktailsbykurtis) from Sydney, Australia has a cool story with making cocktails. Read a bit more, comment to send love! What’s your favorite cocktail? Southside 50ml Navy Strength Gin, 30ml lime, 17.5ml Simple Syrup What’s your favorite bar in town? This Must be the Place What inspired you to start this Instagram? It’s inspired by the desire to create somewhat of a journal of thought. To see where I’ve come from and to better direct my train of thought moving forward What are your favorite mixologist’s IG pages? There’s honestly too many that I love and follow and I couldn’t put it down to a few. My all time favourite page though is without a doubt @cocktails_for_you Brian Klemm (@brianklemm) from @shibumidtla Downtown Los Angeles has a cool story with making cocktails. Read a bit more, comment to send love! What got you into cocktails? I have always been a creative person… I have always enjoyed people and good company… I was bartending for some time with no real drive to pursue cocktails the way I have now… It wasn’t until I met a gentleman who I was working with at the time, who was pretty much like… “yo, you should do THIS…” …and I was like “what is ‘THIS?” The more and more I delved into the cocktail world and hospitality and all the different avenues you can create for yourself and others… the more I became consciously and viscerally obsessed.. I couldn’t stop. What’s your favorite bar in town? My favorite bar in town has probably got to be @ElDoradodtla. The guys in there are just down to earth. They always make you feel welcome and at home no matter who you are.. I watch them make time for every single person that steps up to that bar, no matter how busy they get. THAT is what bartending is all about; Hospitality and the individual experience. What inspired you to start this Instagram?Well, this is my personal Instagram. The shift and focus on cocktails only happened after I started receiving DM’s and emails with questions. I didn’t know anyone was watching or really cared. Although that number may be a small few, I wanted to shift my focus and help out whomever I could. I may not have all the answers, or even the right ones.. but I have some. Most importantly, I have a POV and some insight. I think people who are new to this industry can feel easily intimidated, when they shouldn’t. It’s all fair game and up for your own creative interpretation. It should be fun! Not frightening and bewildering! Always know your classics first. Know what it means to build a cocktail, and don’t be afraid to offer up a discussion. I think in this industry… that is major. What are your favorite mixologist’s IG pages? There’s so much amazing content out there…. But I enjoy following… @rootbitters @ice_and_alchemy @thecocktailportal @thirsty @cocktailsbykurtis @apartment_bartender Justin Pasha (@the_cup_bearer) from Fairfield County CT has a cool story with making cocktails. Read a bit more, comment to send love! What got you into cocktails? I've been working in bars and restaurants full time since I was 16 I've held every position in the restaurant and at one point I remember looking at the bar and thinking to myself "man the bartenders are definitely getting more chicks than I am waiting tables." The rest is history. The mixology end of things just seemed like a natural progression. Advancing in the industry meant perfecting the craft and so I poured myself into it, studied how the best bartenders behaved behind the bar, and continued to work on my speed and technique. Then about three years ago I realized what shit the average bar service at an event was like and decided to try something different, that's when I began my mobile bar service The Cup Bearer and its been a nonstop party ever since. Most people don't know this about me but I don't drink anymore (occupational hazard) almost 3 years now and I will say life is much much better this way. I taste every cocktail with a straw but I spit every time. Do I miss it? Of course, But my jersey is in the rafters now and that's where it belongs. What was my favorite cocktail? Canadian club out of a plastic bottle (not so glam) What is my favorite cocktail to make? A negroni, everything about it is just so elegant, the simplicity of 3 equal parts, the rich color, the stir, the twist, and the final product is a simple cocktail with a complex flavor profile. It's no wonder we have a week named after it. What's your fav bar in town? Where I live is just outside NYC so if we're talking about favorite bars I'm going to have to say The Bar at the @BaccaratHotels. It's just so stunning and luxurious, I mean they serve everything in baccarat crystal?! How do you top that? What inspired you to start this Instagram? I started this insta because a friend told me to, i hated social media before I started my page and it still confuses me at times, but it's been an invaluable too for me and being able to share my events with the world is very exciting. What are your favo Stacie Grissom (@Gardencocktails) from New York City has a cool story with making cocktails. Read a bit more, comment to send love! What got you into cocktails? // What inspired you to start this Instagram? I moved to NYC from Indiana back in 2012 and one of my favorite activities in the city quickly became visiting the innovative bars that have come to define New York’s reigning spot in cocktail history and culture. Because all those tinkly evenings in dark speakeasies don’t come cheap, I started taking the DIY approach to booze by making cocktails in my kitchen. A hobby grew out of frugality and I started posting some of my cocktail creations on Instagram in the beginning of 2016. Today, Garden Cocktails is my blog and Instagram full of the decidedly unprofessional tinkerings of an urban balcony gardener who loves making drinks with herbs, flowers, and botanical things. I write (and photograph) everything I find interesting in my home bartending explorations including things like how to make pickles out of foraged daylilies, how to make handmade tiki mugs in pottery class, and most importantly-- how to make fresh & delicious cocktails in a New York City kitchen the size of a bathroom. What's your favorite cocktail/ingredient/recipe? Anything fresh! The best feeling is being able to go up to my little rooftop garden, picking an ingredient, and making a cocktail with it. I also love going to the grocery and finding an ingredient that feels fun to use in an improvised new drink. What's your fav bar in town? I love everything that Julie Reiner does here in the city and one of my favorite places to visit and revisit is @cloverclubny in Brooklyn! But I also adore @apothekenyc in Chinatown, and @deadrabbitnyc in the Financial District. What are your favorite mixologist' IG pages? @CocktailsbyKurtis: an amazing Aussie bartender + photographer @Apartment_bartender: Really funny and talented home bartender @RoccothePug: a "Pugtender" who "gets his humans tipsy" :P @AshRoseConway: beautiful drinks and photos! Carissa Pearce (@theFermentedAlaskan) from Skylight Gardens in Anchorage Alaska has a cool story with making cocktails. Read a bit more, comment to send love! What got you into cocktails? I had been making raspberry liqueur for a long time and started making cocktails with it after reading the book "The Drunken Botanist"and was hooked! I now forage for as many things as I can and put them into my cocktails. I make foraged amaros, shrubs, syrups, tinctures, bitters, and liquers. What's your favorite cocktail/ingredient/recipe? That is a tough one! It is mood dependant on which cocktail I make but I have to say my go to is the Boulevardier! It has never let me down :) My favorite ingredient to use in a cocktail is Amaros of any kind. What's your favorite bar in town? My favorite bar is Fiori D'Italia @ylliferatiak he is the best! What inspired you to start this Instagram? I made cocktails for my friends all the time and they told me to open up an instagram account becuase my cocktails were unique to Alaska and that I needed to show people what I could do with the fresh ingredients grown up here. What are your favorite mixologist IG pages? I have a very long list of my favs and I love them all so here are a few fellows who inspire me daily: @maxymixalot @sashadallasgirl @theamateurmixologist @chix.ology @aginthing_ @drinkingwithchickens Josh Suchan (@ice_and_alchemy) from Skylight Gardens in Westwood, Los Angeles has a cool story with making cocktails. Read a bit more, comment to send love! What got you into cocktails? Pure coincidence. I graduated with an architecture degree during the recession so that was a dead-end road for a while. Fortunately, I had bartended the local club during college so afterwards I continued doing that in Portland, Oregon. It was by accident that I fell into the craft scene, which really satisfied all my creative urges. I can't get enough. Now I get the best of both worlds: create cocktail programs and help design the bars that they come from. What is your favorite cocktail? My favorite cocktail is the Martinez. It was the first cocktail that made me realize that there was a lot more depth and opportunity to bartending than vodka sodas. My favorite ingredient is anything that takes me back to a place and/or time. I love to travel and discover things to incorporate into my bar programs. What is your favorite bar in town? I don’t have a favorite bar in LA, per se. I go to a bar that satisfies whatever I’m trying to do at that moment. If it’s watching the sunset over the beach, I’ll head that way. If it’s getting the craftiest cocktail, I hit up a couple of places. If it’s drinking whiskey and beer while playing shuffleboard at a dive, then awesome. My favorite bar is the one that my friends are at, I'm easy-going. What inspired you to start this Instagram? My wife kept telling me I needed to do it. She is a fantastic social media manager, has worked with huge brands, and knew a lot more about this stuff than I did. I kept putting it off then finally started posting my drinks. People started to engage, I started to engage with other people, and it's been really fun to see how people express their ideas. So, she was right, again. Dammit. What are your favorite mixologist pages? There are quite a few for different reasons, but a few people pumping out great content are: @rootbitters @brianklemm @bob_peters @just_imbiber @the_garnishguy @apartment_bartender Jordan (@highproofpreacher) from Portland, OR has a cool story with making cocktails. Read a bit more, comment to send love! What got you into cocktails? It was when a friend of mine made me my first Old Fashioned. Then after that I got the @deathandconyc book and read it cover to cover in a few days. I was hooked from there! What’s your favorite cocktail/ingredient/recipe? I really love whiskey and *usually* tend to prefer stirred-boozy drinks. However, I’m also really digging mezcal lately. It’s just so much fun to experiment with! Here is one of my fav mezcal cocktails. Recipe by Death & Co (shocker there!) ¾ oz mezcal ¾ oz yellow chartreuse ¾ oz aperol ¾ oz fresh lime juice Shake all ingredients with ice then double-strain into a chilled coupe and serve up. No garnish. What’s your favorite bar in town? That’s a tough one, because Portland has so many cool drink spots. I'd have to say the @multnomahwhiskeylibrary (if that can be considered a “bar”) or one called @expatriatepdx in deep NE Portland. What inspired you to start this Instagram? I love making drinks for people and I love photography. It seemed like a pretty natural way to combine the two hobbies! What are your favorite mixologist IG pages? @apartment_bartender has been really influential to me and he really helped me get going. Here are some of my other favorites that are really killing it lately: @shannonshootscocktails @barfaith @rootbitters @cigarbond @littlelibations Richard Allison (@rootbitters) from Los Angeles California has a cool story with cocktails. Read a bit more, comment to send love! What got you into cocktails? In 2013 I was involved in a life changing motorcycle accident which left me injured and out of work for nearly two years. During that time I started to explore the art of crafting bitters. After I developed my recipe I became more interested in creating unique cocktails with interesting flavor profiles. What's your favorite cocktail recipe? My favorite cocktail is a classic and true old fashioned. There are many riffs on the gem of a cocktail, but here is how I prefer mine. 2 oz of Angels Envy rye 2 Dashes of Orange Spice @rootbittters 2 Dashes of Angostura @angosturahouse 1 Demerara sugar cube In a rocks glass muddle sugar cube with bitters, add ice and bourbon and stir for 60 rotations. Garnish with orange and lemon peel. What inspired you to start this Instagram? I have a passion for using old world methods and tools in my bitters. That same passion encourages me to go antiquing and treasure hunting. Which is a lot of what you see on my instagram. I really enjoy finding pieces from different eras and making them come together for a photo. What are your favorite mixology IG pages? Here are some of my favorite IG friends: @apartment_bartender @ice_and_alchemy @brianklemm @imefren @barrelageddad @highproofpreacher Natalie Migliarini (@beautifulbooze) from her cocktail journey around the world has a cool story with cocktails. Read a bit more, comment to send love! What got you into cocktails? I initially got into cocktails after having many dinner parties and constantly searching for amazing signature cocktails to serve. After spending many hours browsing the web I found that there was limited resources for the home bartender. I decided to dive deeper into the cocktail world and create easy/beautiful recipes for the home bartender. I made Beautiful Booze my full time job after bring laid off from my grant writing job at the University of Washington. After working for free for about 2 years to build up my following and creditability in the industry I started making money to sustain myself. In addition my followers ask me all the time if I was ever a bartender. I have never been a bartender but have taught myself through trial and error. What's your favorite bar in town? I love Mexico City and over the past three years have witnessed the bar scene grow rapidly with so many amazing bars and bartenders. Fifty Mils in the Four Seasons is one of my favorite bars to visit when I am in town and I love that the bartenders use Mexican influences to ignite their creativity. What inspired you to start this Instagram? After finding that there was a missing niche on the internet in the cocktail world tailored to the home bartender I decided to create my blog Beautiful Booze to share my recipes about 4 years ago. I currently have over 500 recipes on my site and have been able to connect with so many people around the world by using Instagram. Since I have been traveling I have also used Instagram to connect with my followers IRL which has been amazing because many people have shown me amazing bars around the world. What are your favorite mixology IG pages? Some of my favorite mixologist in IG include the amazingly talented @bob_peters. He is the genius behind the Punch Room in Charlotte North Carolina at the Ritz Carlton Hotel. Another one of my favorites is @holy.champagne which is a mobile bar based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Francisco Gandione is the owner of Holy Champagne Follow dina @neonderthal_designs from today's live stream!
