Every brand has a story, let me tell yours! I am a Mixologist with over ten years of experience at my craft. I have an interest in creating brand new memories with my guests through creative tastings. I have competed as a bartender for the last couple of years, and have enjoyed putting together new libations for my guests. I was listed as one of Diageo World Class's top 100 bartenders in the United States in 2019, won first place in the Bacardi Maestro competition in South Carolina, and placed second in a Heaven Hill Bartender of the Year competition (Charlotte, North Carolina edition). Bacardi asked me to judge another competition, and then later invited me to travel to Puerto Rico, to learn about their company. Through my USBG membership, I was honored to be invited to Mexico by the Patron Tequila Company, to learn about how their tequila is produced, and how they are making a difference in environmental practices. I was then later invited by the Casa Noble Tequila Company to travel to their location in Mexico to learn about their practices in manufacturing and sustainability in drink making. All were eye opening experiences that I will never forget, and often reference when talking to my guests at my restaurant.
I am hoping to find myself in the future doing more work within the spirits industry, and am willing to travel and try new things! I love sharing my experiences with others through visual storytelling, and have a unique opportunity to highlight your brands both online, and at my bar!

The results are in! Your girl passed! Thank you to @lushlifeproductions @ginafossitt @davemitton @cdnwhiskydoc @lot40 @@jpwisers @pikecreek_whisky @camp_runamok for hooking me up with this awesome class! I learned a great deal about distillation, and I am excited how much taking this class has helped me with studying for the CSS (Certified Specialist of Spirits), which will be my next cert. Ask me a question about Canadian Whisky. #Canada #CanadianWhiskycertification #amyshakesandstirs #womenwhodrinkwhiskey #ilovemyjob
WEEK 4 Eh, B, C's of Canadian Whisky course was full of so much information that I would love to share with all of you! We had Dr. Don Livermore, the Master Blender at Hiram Walker come and speak to our group, and he dropped so many facts on us about Whisky. We talked about how Canada was the first country to require barrel aging and key differences between American Rye and Canadian Rye. I really enjoyed the Lot no 40 Dark Oak, need to find a bottle our in the wild. Wish me luck on this week's exam! I want to say thank you to my friends at @davemitton @ginafossitt @camp_runamok @pikecreek_whisky @jpwisers and @lot40 @cdnwhiskydoc for making this class possible. #CanadianWhisky #ryewhiskey #CanadianWhiskycertification #shareyourknowledge #Whisky #hiramwalker #Canada #bartender #amy.shakes.and.stirs #lovemyjob

We had Dr. Don Livermore, the Master Blender at Hiram Walker come and speak to our group, and man this guy knows his stuff! We talked about how Canada was the first country to require barrel aging of their Whisky and the process of coopering (making barrels) all the way to the process of cask finishing.

Thank you @lushlifeproductions for another great opportunity to learn from the best in the business! Who else is getting nerdy with me this month about Canadian Whisky? 🇨🇦
Had an Amazing time in Paris last month! Thank you to The Bartenders Society @rhum_saintjmes Marie Brizard Caraïbos @375parkavespirits and Chilled Magazine for giving me the opportunity to come to Paris to represent the United States during the top 20 Bartenders Society Global Finals. I got to meet and learn from the best bartenders from around the globe during this competition. You are all truly amazing individuals, and I had so much fun hanging out and getting to know all of you. I would have loved to have brought the trophy home for the US, but I am proud to have been able to represent our country along with my new brother Norton Christopher from Louisiana, who I am hoping I will get to partner with again down the road. Congratulations to Boris Blanc of Martinique who took home this years trophy! He did an extraordinary job representing the brands, and I wish him the best! I would also like to thank Nick from Canada 🇨🇦 for lending me his chef jacket to compete in because mine was too small. #bartendersociety #bartendersocietyglobalfinals #rhumsaintjames #mariebrizard #caraibos #375parkspirits #chilledmagazine #chilled100 #amyshakesandstirs #bartendercompetition #paris #hallscolumbia

Happy New Years! Looking forward to all the things in 2023!
Looking for a Holiday Cocktail to warm you up tonight? I will be at Hall's serving up my S'mores Old Fashioned. Old Scout Bourbon was infused with Graham Crackers for the base spirit, house made toasted marshmallow syrup for a touch of sweetness, and a dash of Scrappys Chocolate Bitters. Thanks for the pic @theregoesrayray ! #oldscoutbourbon #scrappysbitters #hallscolumbia #hallschophouse #amyshakesandstirs #S'mores #OldFashioned #Bourbon
