It is with great pleasure to introduce The Drinkers Choice Clubs' Very First Social Star of the Month! Dawn Hubbard, most of you know her from social media as @drinkswithdawn. Her Infectious personality and love for cocktails are just a couple things that we love about her, so let's all learn a little more about Dawn and her journenoy to Social Stardom!
Q1: How long have you been in the industry?
Answer: 15 years!
Q2: What made you choose this line of work?
Answer: This line of work just happened. I have always enjoyed hosting parties and events
and exploring different spirits to make others feel festive. My full-time job is a floral decorator
and I incorporate my flowers joyfully into my cocktail experience.
Q3: If you could change one misconception about the industry, what would it
be?
Answer: You can find a way that meets your needs and unique wish list
to work within the industry. Is it full time? Part time? As necessary? I truly
enjoy the process.
Q4: What is one piece of advice to anyone wanting to work in this
industry?
Answer: Be uniquely you! Bring a happy attitude to your
work.
Q5: Your videos are being seen across the world wide web! What do you hope to accomplish
with the content you create?
Answer: I started my videos during the pandemic because I missed the bar and all of my
friends. I set out on a journey to level up my cocktail experience and learn about some new
liquors, liqueurs, and garnish. I wish to share that information with other people who are
interested in the same. I also really hope to make people laugh!
Q6: When you go out to a bar, what is the one cocktail would you NEVER order from
another bartender and why?
Answer: A margarita. I am not a fan of sour mix; I only use fresh citrus. Tequila is a love of
mine and many places do not broaden their horizons with different brands. The level of
sweetness is also too much for me. Balance is everything!
Q7: When someone asks you to make them something fruity. What is your Go to
Drink?
Answer: The Strawberry Moon
In a cocktail shaker with ice, add: 1 1⁄2 oz Cachaca, 1⁄2 oz Mezcal, 1⁄2 oz Velvet
Falernum, 3⁄4 oz Strawberry Syrup, 1 oz Lime Juice, and a few mint leaves. Shake,
strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube, garnish with elements of nature.
and lastly...
THE DRINKERS CHOICE CLUB EXCLUSIVE QUESTION
What is your favorite cocktail recipe (that you make, or you like to drink) of all
time?
Answer: Blood Orange Mezcal Margarita
In a shaker with ice:
1.75 oz Tequila Blanco, .75 oz Mezcal, .5 oz Orange Liqueur, 1.5 oz Blood
Orange Juice, .5 oz Lime Juice, and 1⁄4 oz Agave. Shake well, strain into a
