Chris Tunstall

"I started bartending because I fell in love with the craft of the cocktail and got so much satisfaction from making a great drink. But when I started trying to design my own cocktails, I struggled to find great resources to help me learn the intricacies of balance, as well as the different kinds of sweeteners, acids, and bitter components to use in my drinks.

It took years to teach myself – but it was worth it. I’ve had opportunities to design cocktail menus, work with brands, and consult for bars and restaurants all over the world.

Now I’ve built this program to share what I’ve learned so you can achieve a fulfilling career, leveraging your mixology skills to get your drinks on the menu and advance your career into management, consulting, and beyond.”

This Bar Mat is AMAZING!

I bought the large black bar mat after hearing about it on the Thriving Alcohol Free Podcast with Mocktail Mom. The quality is exceptional. It’s thick, sturdy, and heavy (in the best way). I originally got it to use while mixing nonalcoholic cocktails but everyone likes it so much that it never leaves our kitchen counter. Highly, Highly, Highly recommended!!!

Quality you can see AND feel!

This bar set is amazing!!! I bartended for years in my 20’s and this was the quality that we used at a relais and chateaux luxury resort. You can feel it with the weight of the pieces and they are just so beautiful!
