IN THE SPIRIT FEATURING: Nikki G. Davidson, Cocktailcrafty.com, Blogger & Photographer
Nikki G. Davidson, @cocktailcrafty, Cocktailcrafty.com, Blogger & Photographer I got bit by the cocktail bug after a trip to New Orleans. Afterward, I made it my mission to find great cocktails in my hometown of Baltimore. I soon decided to document my journey on Instagram, along with my own cocktail recipes. Along the way, I fell in love with photography. I soon quit my day job and set out to work as a content creator and photographer full time.

IN THE SPIRIT FEATURING: SHANNON STURGIS, @shannonshootscocktails, Photographer
Shannon Sturgis, @shannonshootscocktails, PhotographerI'm not a bartender! I'm a photographer who specializes in shooting cocktails. I like to refer to myself as bartender adjacent because I spend a lot of time around them and the bar/ liquor industry. I am fortunate to have a lot of travel opportunities to meet bartenders from around the country and occasionally internationally where I get to observe the technique, style and palate of many a bartender. Personally I have a very bitter palate so give me stirred and boozy any day and you'll make me happy.

IN THE SPIRIT FEATURING: BRIAN VAN FLANDERN, CREATIVE COCKTAIL CONSULTANTS, PRESIDENT
Brian Van Flandern, Creative Cocktail Consultants, President, @mymixologistOnce you understand the principles of flavor profiling, you can put together an infinite number of flavor combinations. I am constantly on the lookout for unusual ingredients that I have never worked with before. I am fortunate enough that as I travel the world I get to experience new cultures, new foods and new bar techniques from some of the most talented professionals on Earth... this is an endless source of inspiration.

IN THE SPIRIT FEATURING: SHAUN TRAXLER, GENERAL MANAGER AT VAULT
Shaun Traxer, General Manager at Vault, @shauntraxlerTruthfully, I was first intrigued by the flexibility and the compensation (of the bar/restuarant industry). After my first few years behind the stick, I began to understand how deep the rabbit hole went, and decided to follow it. Now over 15 years in, I'm absolutely in love with what I do for a living. It's a pretty nice feeling.

IN THE SPIRIT FEATURING: HANNAH CHAMBERLAIN, SPIRITED LA
Hannah Chamberlain, Writer/Photographer/Drinker, @spiritedLAI started @spiritedLA three years ago when I was falling in love with the LA cocktail scene. I had zero formal bar training, but wanted to make drinks at home that resembled the drinks I had at great craft cocktail bars (and WOW, my early efforts were pretty cringe-worthy). But luckily, getting better at cocktail making is a fun process

IN THE SPIRIT FEATURING: DAWN MCCOY
Dawn McCoy, @iamdawnmccoyI always say that I am a purveyor of joy. As a child, my mom always called me a Pollyanna because I tended to see the world through rose-colored glasses, but I simply know no other way to look at it.

ALLISON TORRES, REFINERY ROOFTOP, LEAD BARTENDERMaybe because I'm an old soul, I've always found beauty in the simplicity of the classics. Trends have never been for me. Classic cocktails, classic white tshirt, classic rock. Stick to what works.

IN THE SPIRIT FEATURING: GABBY CIRIGLIANO
GABBY CIRIGLIANO, THECURLYCUCUMBER, BLOGGERI get inspiration from other food bloggers and also from walking around the grocery store. Each time I go grocery shopping, I try to find one item I do not generally buy and try to incorporate it into a meal! It is a fun way to try something new.
