Introduction
TABC certified ✅ WSET 1 in Wines ✅ Triple Vaccinated ✅ Fun - Loving ✅ Hi! Bartending and mixology are my profession and passion. I have been bartending for two years now and absolutely love it! I am your go-to person for craft cocktails! 🥂Looking for a signature drink for your next party? Look no further! I customize drinks according to your preferences. 🥂I offer to make a vast range of cocktails - from classics to curated recipes. You can choose from various themes - seasonal, holiday, Indian, and a lot more. 🥂I provide full shopping consultation to help you procure all the ingredients you will need for your event. 🥂I also take mixology sessions. I consider these sessions to be a great way to learn some fun facts about your favorite spirits while you mix some on your own. These mixology sessions are both in-person and virtual. Contact me for more info! 🥂I get my own sanitized bar tools, bar mats, and a small and large cooler to hold the ice used for making the drinks. 🥂I went to the New York Bartending School.

Sushmita from the point of contact through completing services was very professional. She was very clear on what she was bringing and had a very clear list of what I would be bringing. This was helpful for me. She always followed through, was on time, had a beautiful bar setup, fabulous drinks, and great, friendly service. She went over and beyond to make our celebration memorable!! I would use her again and would recommend her to those I know! Sushmita I am in gratitude to you not only for an incredible job being our bartender, but for your kindness for stepping in and assisting when I needed additional help! Thank you, Niesje Buaas

Sushmita is one of those people for whom justice would not be served by rating her work a 5 out of 5. Because she truly deserves above and beyond that. I say this because all the effort she puts in from way before the day of they event. She helped my now wife and me plan many small details from a couple of months prior to our wedding date, just to iron out any imperfections and to make sure she and we are on the same page. Her attention to detail are indicative of the perfectionist she is. Coming to her drinks, she makes sure she has all the ingredients to get here combinations right. She has an unlimited set of recommendations for anyone wanting drinks with a little twist, while she is equally good at making the classics too. In all honesty, I'm not much of a cocktail drinker, and like my straight shots, but from the response I have from our attendees, they all were all Gaga over her drinks! Apart from drinks, Both Sushmita and Rohan are perfect examples or exceptional professionals in the service industry. Their attitude towards patrons, their patience and their injection of humor at the right times were loved by one and all. All in all, I would say if I were to recommend anyone a bartender for any event, or have to hire one for any of my own future events, I would absolutely bring Sushmita and Rohan onboard again, without a doubt. They are great at what they do, they are fantastic humans and they have the absolutely right professionalism and attitude to be in the service industry.

Sushmita bartended at our wedding and oh my gosh all of our guests loved her! She made such delicious drinks (Paloma’s, margaritas, vodka cranberries, and beer and wine). Sushmita really took care of all of us and we were very happy with her service. She even helped us determine how much alcohol to buy for our event & everything was spot on! Hire Sushmita for your event! You won’t be disappointed

This was our first time hiring a bartender for an event and it was so worth it! We had a house warming party and Sushmita was both helpful and amazing to work with. All guests loved her and it allowed my husband and I to enjoy ourselves more during the event. Drinks were delicious and fun, service was excellent. Never had to worry. Her and her bar back helped us figure out the space in our home to set up the bar and were lovely to talk to. I will definitely be hiring her again, and anytime we have a party a bartender is now a must for me!!

Sushmita was really easy to work with and such a professional. It was a delight to work with her. She was very responsive, very detail oriented and provided us with proper shopping consultation and suggestions on the drinks to keep in the party. She was also flexible on the timings and happily stayed when we had to extend our party over the stipulated time. Would definitely hire her again and surely recommend her for your bartending needs 🤩 Her drinks were a hit at our party!
