Having more than a decade of experience working with Portland-based companies such as My Bartender, With a Twist, and Bon Appétit, I developed a strong foundation in event bartending along with a clear vision for what I wanted to offer clients. That experience inspired the creation of Bar10der Bautista—an event beverage service built around quality, creativity, and a more personalized approach.
I focus on high-quality, often handmade elements that elevate both flavor and appearance: Organic dehydrated fruit garnishes, personally crafted syrups or agaves & aromatics. Skillfully created custom ice with options that include: Clear 1x1 cubes stamped with initials, logos, or other symbols. Fruit infused cubes which enhance a drink's flavor upon melting rather than diluting it.
For clients looking to create a more visually engaging experience, I offer enhancements that bring energy and personality to the party: Edible glitter can shimmer off the rim or swirl from within your cocktails that sparkle. Or try/buy some LED ice cubes for an effect that can be a fun addition & offers a remote-controllable color reaction. Tiny details have such potential to promote or enhance the theme of your celebration.
Bar10der Bautista is designed as a fully customizable, concierge-style bartending service. Whether serving cocktails or mocktails, I work with you to create a menu and presentation that aligns with your vision, your guests, and your event goals. The collaboration of working with me is the core of my business dynamic and what I enjoy most of an opportunity to support creativity to enhance atmosphere and contribute to the experience of your guests. I hope to get the chance to work with those who are excited to explore ideas, to build a theme and create an experience that guests are mostly likely to cherish.
