Happy Thanksgiving from behind the bar. 🦃🍁🍸🥃
For almost 14 years, I’ve had the honor of serving this amazing Frisco community — one cocktail, one conversation, and one unforgettable experience at a time.

Thank you for pulling up a seat, trusting me with your celebrations, your stories, and your taste buds. I’m grateful for every guest who’s become a friend and every bar that’s felt like home.

Here’s to gratitude, good people, and great drinks.
Cheers, Frisco 🥂

🥂✨ Brunch starts tomorrow at 11am at Elaine’s!

Start your weekend the right way — with our loaded Bloody Mary 🍹 stacked high with flavor, and the rich, savory O’Beef Short Rib Benedict 🥩🍳.

It’s bold, it’s delicious, and it’s the brunch you’ve been waiting for.

“The best cocktail starts long before the pour. Bright, heavy, thin-skinned fruit = more juice + better flavor. Because a great drink always begins with the right ingredients.”

Why bartenders shake like this 👇

It’s not just for show — shaking does 3 critical things:
🥶 Chills your cocktail so it’s crisp and refreshing
💧 Adds the perfect amount of dilution (too little = harsh, too much = watery)
🌬️ Aerates for that silky, smooth texture

The secret? Super cold, solid ice + the right shake time (10–15 sec).
That’s how a good cocktail becomes a great one. 🍸✨

What inspires me as a cocktail artist & longtime hospitality professional? The connections & relationships made from behind the bar. It's not just about making great tasting drinks, but more about creating experiences that last long after the glass is empty.

Because the art behind the bar isn’t just in the cocktails — it’s in how they make you feel.
