Bars where you have worked<\/strong>: Blue Canoe<\/span><\/p>\n

In your experience, what is the most common reason to have a drink?<\/strong> Stressed from work.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favorite ingredient or flavor combination? <\/strong>I\u2019m definitely a vodka girl! I drink it with ginger ale.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is your most essential bar tool? <\/strong>My bar key that opens bottles. It doubles as something to play with if it happens to be slow!<\/span><\/p>\n

Where\u2019s your favorite spot to sip in Tupelo \/ your hometown? <\/strong>Even when I\u2019m off I usually end up at blue canoe! But I like Stables too!<\/span><\/p>\n

What are your personal specialties<\/strong>?<\/strong> I think I make a pretty good Old Fashioned<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you wish people would order more often? Less often? <\/strong>It just depends on how busy you are! I don\u2019t mind making anything but if we are busy maybe less often Bloody Mary\u2019s late at night.<\/span><\/p>\n

What drink do you recommend to someone who doesn\u2019t know what to order? <\/strong>At the canoe we have the Ruby Relaxer. That\u2019s the one I usually go to if they don\u2019t know what they want.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most famous customer you\u2019ve ever served<\/strong>: Jacob Landry\u2026from the tv show Swamp People. That\u2019s the only one I can think of off the top of my head.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who would you most like to have a drink with; where and what would you imbibe<\/strong>?<\/strong> Because I\u2019m a girl, Proably Justin Timberlake at Silkys on Beale! I\u2019m sure I\u2019d be drinking vodka of some sort to calm the nerves!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in charge of the tunes in your bar, what music do you play? <\/strong>I usually go for JJ Grey and Mofro or Pearl Jam radio on Pandora.<\/span><\/p>\n

Read any good books lately<\/strong>? <\/strong>Not much of a reader!<\/span><\/p>\n

Best joke to tell to a grumpy customer? <\/strong>I\u2019m not good at telling jokes! But I recently learned the hand hug! So you basically put your hand up like you are gonna high five but you hold it there and wrap you rthumb around their hand say \u201chand hug!!\u201d It\u2019s so awkward that most people laugh!<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the funniest thing you\u2019ve seen in your bar lately? <\/strong>My bar mate dressed up as our dishwasher for Halloween! It was pretty priceless!<\/span><\/p>\n
