Remember Tom Cruise playing a bartender in the movie Cocktail making those wonderful arty drinks? A good bartender will get you in the groove, and there is always a sense of drama when it comes to mixing drinks. Nothing gets a crowd buzzing better than a bartender with flair and skill.

Speaking of bartenders, few would dispute that Dale Degroff is Numero Uno. He's the Michael Jackson of bartenders. Like the late king of pop Dale has even been nicknamed the "king of cocktails". 

Dale has been credited for converting the regular bar drinkers to switch to Cosmopolitan. Yes we all have heard of the girls from Sex And The City dressed to the nines and painting the town red in their Jimmy Choo's - ordering Cosmopolitans to get over their boy worries. Dunno who should get the credit, but Cosmopolitan is now the most requested alcohol drink after good old beer. More...

When you and your boys go out to the clubs in a group it's understandable that your team is likely to be as strong as the weakest member on the roster. So if one of your team members is consistently attracting bad "chi" towards the rest of the group, Danielle has the perfect strategy to strengthen your offense.

She explains,  “First, split a bottle of vodka with your boys. Trust me, it’s cheaper than buying individual drinks all night. Now the important part: Don’t take your bottle service to some table. Instead, stay at the bar and gather there. Tables by design cut you off from the women you want to meet! At the bar, you can ask any group of girls that steps up to the wood to join this free-booze party. If, like most guys, you walk up and ask a girl if she wants a drink, she throws up a wall. By inviting her into this fun little group, you’re no longer some schemer, but a cool host.”

Bartenders are the unsung heros of many an event. We're happy with them just handing us glass after glass of booze to turn even the lamest event into a bubbling fiesta. But every now and then you are fortunate enough to be blessed with not just another glass of your favorite confidence booster but a dazzling babe like Joanna behind the bar as well. Joanna lives in New York and makes a mean "Inauguration Day" cocktail.
