Name: Kate.
Where: Rumba.
Buy Her a Shot Of: Smith & Cross rum or agricole. âProofy funky things!â Kate says. âWhen it's not rum, I like sherry and calvados. But let's be honest, it's usually rum.â
Ask Her to Make You A: Tiki drink. âI've been pretty into tiki lately because we started a tiki night [Wednesday] here at Rumba. I like showing people that rum drinksâeven tiki drinksâdon't need to be cloying and overdone. I like classics like the Test Pilot and Three Dots & a Dash; they're simple but have complexity. I typically don't believe in unnecessary garnishes, but tiki garnishes should be over the top. It's pretty fun.â
What Sheâs Doing When Sheâs Not at the Bar: âDay off? Tell me more⌠I stay at home and hang out in my kitchen. I like to cook and play cribbage. In the summer, I spend a lot of time gardening and raising chickens. I don't have a lot of time away. I like to work hard then leave the country for a while to relax.â
Words to Live By: âEverything in moderation, including moderation.â
