E225 Amy Probasco
Having A Passion For Your Craft
This weeks guest is Amy Probasco who joins us from Chicago, Illinois. Amy has been a hospitality professional for nearly two decades. A Virginia native, she has worked throughout the country in high volume clubs, award-winning restaurants, and nationally recognized craft cocktail bars. Named by the Chicago Tribune as one of city's top bartenders in 2012, she went on to establish the bar program at the James Beard Awarded Girl & the Goat restaurant and implement bar systems and operations for the opening of Soho House Chicago.
Amys's cocktail recipes have been featured in Forbes, Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan, and Punch magazines. Though working in bars and restaurants will always be her first love, Amy has enjoyed traveling the country as a cocktail consultant - helping streamline beverage programs, create focused drink menus, and lead trainings on cocktail technique and spirits history. Amy is currently an in-house mixologist for Beam Suntory, managing the bar at their North American Headquarters in Chicago.
