The Drink That Changed The Mixology Industry!

The Drink That Changed The Mixology Industry!

African American bartenders have contributed so much to the mixologist world. Jasper Crouch, Tom Bullock, Jim Cook, John Dabney were pioneers of catering, cuisine, and mixology in the face of impossible odds. They were former slaves with a dream: to be free and make an impact in the world. Today, we honor the African American community that contributed to modern mixology and the Mint Julep we know and love.
