@MyGirlfriendLovesCocktails

A Passion Project

Since I was am no longer as involved in creative work as I would like to be, I decided that a change was needed to continue flexing those artistic muscles.

Like many others, during the lockdowns in the early stages of the pandemic, I decided to learn a new skill. I had always admired the art of mixology so I took in as much as I could about bartending and learned how to craft my own cocktails.

Wanting to display my work, I decided to start the Instagram page @MyGirlfriendLovesCocktails. Combining my newfound hobby with my longstanding love of film, I will pick a movie and create a recipe for a drink to pair it with.

Take a look below, maybe I’ve already covered your favorite movie!

(By the way, I take requests!)
