Amazing bartender for our housewarming party

I held a housewarming party earlier this month and hired Elevated Elixers to help us celebrate. I didn't want to worry about making drinks for guests in the new place and Ryan was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He was friendly, easy to work with, and helped me stay in my budget while still making everything feel special. I appreciate that he came up with some impressive mocktails for my guests that don't drink which were a huge hit! I definitely recommend Elevated Elixers to anyone looking for a fun and delicious bartending service.

Excellent and personable bartender

Ryan created the most delicious and creative cocktails for our event! He was incredibly charming and passionate and our guests loved him and his drinks! The starfruit spritz was my favorite!

What to expect

Here’s how it works:

You provide the base spirits and any specific liquors you might want and I provide everything else!

We’ll have 30min complementary consult during which we discuss the vision for the event and what cocktails (either classic or custom) and we create a liquor list.

I will prep all of the juices, syrups, infusions, bitters, garnishes, tonics, etc. prior to the event. At the event I will come with these previously prepped specialty mixers, garnishes, ice in an ice chest, all the bar tools, pour spouts, a dump bucket, compostable glassware, my sparkling personality and even my own freestanding bar table for flexibility in floor plan set up.

If we’re anticipating a high volume event I’m happy to batch cocktails for efficiency’s sake.

For an additional fee I can provide on draft carbonated cocktails (good for very high volume events), true glass cocktail glasses, an additional bartender, and aerial bartending.

Additional services include: classic cocktail making classes, cocktail creation classes, bitters making classes, and tonic making classes.

About

Ryan approaches bartending from a creativity first perspective. Having had years of experience running the bar prep programs of multiple acclaimed Chicago restaurants and bars, he knows that investing in creative syrups, juices, garnishes, custom bitters and tonics, infusions, and flavor profiles will outshine blowing money on overpriced top shelf liquor and store bought mixers any day.

Ryan has traveled all over the world and draws inspiration from the many flavors he’s had the privilege of experiencing. More importantly however, he loves nothing more than engaging in creative collaborations with his clients to create the cocktail menu of their dreams that not only perfectly complement, but elevate their events!
