Our 2017 Favorite Bartenders in Jupiter

JUPITER, FL – November 3, 2017 – If it’s five o’clock in Jupiter, and if you’re out and about around some of the hottest spots in the area, you’re bound to run into one of these individuals. Get to know them!

Brian Marshall, Calaveras Cantina

Years bartending: Six in total. Coming up on my second year at Calaveras.

Drink that best matches your personality: Anejo or Scotch neat. That’s me – relaxed/no BS. - Go-to drink A Mezcalita (a spicy/smokey margarita with a smoked salt rim) or a Mexican Mule (A Moscow Mule but substitute vodka for tequila)

Best Creation: I make a mean twist on a Raspberry Lemondrop that has always been popular at the bars I’ve worked.

Best Holiday Drink: A Christmas Cookie: Peppermint schnapps, Kahlua, and Bailey’s, and crushed chocolate chip cookie on the rim.

Teresa “Mama T” Wrigley, Dive Bar

Years of bartending: 28 years in the industry, but six-and-a-half at Dive Bar, since the day it opened.

Go-to drink: Mama T’s Skinny Lemonade (vodka, muddled lemons, water shaken, and mint).

Best creation: Mama T’s Skinny Lemonade hands down.

Cocktail that matches your personality: A fireball shot because I can get a little crazy sometimes and can spit fire back.

Karl Thompson, U-Tiki

Years bartending: Four. Three of them at U-Tiki.

Cocktail that best matches your personality: A Mango Jalapeño Margarita. A little sweet mixed with a whole lotta’ spicy, but good for the soul.

Best Creation: Jalapeño Margarita. Not meant for those who don’t enjoy a spicy cocktail.

Best Holiday Drink: A Cinnamon Roll: Half Kahlua and half RumChata. Shaken and served chilled in a martini glass, topped with whipped cream and cinnamon. Easy enough to make at home!

Christina Walker, The Woods Jupiter

Years bartending: Six. Two years at The Woods.

Go-to drink: My Espresso Martini. Caffeine and alcohol is the best of both worlds.

Best creation: Espresso Martini. It has my own twist in it: Stoli vanilla vodka, freshly brewed espresso, and even proportions of Baileys Irish Cream and Kahlua.

Cocktail that matches your personality: Gin (Nolet’s) and tonic. Edgy and refreshing – like me.

Best Holiday Drink: One from my Puerto Rican heritage - Coquito. Bacardi, cinnamon sticks, condensed milk, and nutmeg. I like to package it up and give to friends and family as gifts.
