The White Party

The conclusion to this year’s Memorial Day Weekend block party that we know as “Skewfest” featured an all-white-attire theme and was packed with friends, fun, dancing and outdoor bar, served by Mobile Mixologist. 

We cannot wait for Skewer’s Kabob House to move into it’s brand new location so that we can bring Skewfest back next year -- Fingers crossed!

Infusion Lounge SF

I’m very proud to have been given the opportunity to work with some of the greatest people in the industry at Moet Hennessy, and I accept these very special job offers every chance I get when it does not take away from my events here at Mobile Mixologist.  This particular event was the National Launch of the Hennessy V.S. Limited Edition Bottle by Ryan McGinness.

Last year on August 6th, 2015, Team Hennessy simultaneously took over 14 different night clubs across the United States as part of a huge marketing campaign for the Ryan McGinness bottle.  Being one of the biggest markets in the nation, Hennessy designated us to one of the hottest venues in Northern California - Infusion Lounge San Francisco.  The night was filled with photos and fun as I hand crafted 200 of Hennessy’s Infinity cocktail, and our promo models passed them out one by one to Infusion’s guests.  

INFINITY BY RYAN MCGINNESS

Hall Wedding 2015

The wedding of Agripina & Jason Hall was an incredibly special occasion all around, not only because my team served cocktails after the ceremony, but because I was a groomsman to one of my best friends.  This “Do It Yourself” wedding turned out incredibly beautiful, and as you can see from the Photo Booth, not an ounce of fun was wasted.

“On the big day, it was nothing short of perfect… Carly and Jessica did an amazing job!” - Jason Hall.

Clean Eats Cocktail Recipes

More and more people are becoming aware of the dangers of processed foods and unnatural ingredients. For starters, you may want to avoid the middle rows of the super markets and shop only along the outer walls which display fresh produce: meats, grains, oats, fruits, berries, vegetables, juices, etc. On a related note, we all know that consuming alcohol does not necessarily compliment a healthy and active lifestyle, but that does not mean that you have to cut out the cocktails if you want to eat clean.

Here are some photos of Victoria Popoff’s Clean Eats Cocktail Party which was held at Urbano California Bistro. We decided to use Cold House Vodka as our spirit of choice, which is distilled locally in Modesto, California by master distiller Lee Palleschi. They are proud to say that they use only natural fruits and purees to sweeten their spirits, rather than most other vodkas that use artificial ingredients like the well-known aspartame. This key factor is the first step in creating a “clean cocktail” that is not only organic, but low in calories.

Everyone in attendance had a blast at the party and not one ounce of fun was left out when creating our clean cocktails.

“Retox as I Detox”:

1 ½ oz. Blueberry Cold House Vodka

6 fresh blueberries, 2 lime wedges

Method: Muddle 3 blueberries and 2 limes with blueberry vodka. Chill with ice and top with club soda. Garnish with 3 more blueberries

“Party in my Plants”:

1 ½ oz. Premium Cold House Vodka

¾ oz. Home made kale simple syrup

kale, 2 lime wedges

Method: Chill ingredients together, shake and strain over fresh ice. Top with Club soda and garnish with a kale sprig.

Our "Candied Maple Bacon Bloody Marys" were a huge hit and nicely complimented the bacon centric menu featured at this month's acclaimed Bacon Brunch. Hats off to the chefs at Urbano California Bistro (located directly behind the Gallo Art Center in Downtown Modesto). They sure did aim to please, and with all of the incredibly positive feedback we've received, it's a given that we are doing this event again. Stay tuned for Bacon Brunch #2. Coming soon...
