The new way to cheers with friends!! I am ‘hosting’ a virtual gathering so you can Venmo our bartenders to help them make ends meet during the shutdown. Resuming our weekly fun with a special TIKI edition of the Tuesday gathering AWE started on March 17.
FESTIVE ATTIRE IS ENCOURAGED! Get those beachy virtual backgrounds ready and start your bar prep now! Sierra will be leading us through two Tiki cocktails and some easy ways to make due with what you may already have. Here is your prep list (which in these times could be Scavenger Hunt worthy):
Spirits:
Overproof rum (Suggested: Wray & Nephew, Smith & Cross, or Plantation OFTD)
Medium body rum (Suggested: Appleton or Real McCoy
Allspice dram
Other Goodies:
Simple syrup (Sierra likes Demerara) - recipes abound online!
Vanilla syrup or extract
Ginger syrup or liqueur or spice
Things you might already have around:
Lime juice
Pineapple juice
Cold brew coffee or just coffee
Nutmeg
Equipment:
Ziplock baggie quart size or larger
Liquid measuring device
Tall cup or glass for assembling ingredients
Start logging on about 5 minutes prior to the start time (seems to take a few minutes to get settings right). Enable video chat for maximum effect! Come as you are… whatever time zone you may be in!
Virtual Tip: Download the Zoom app to your phone or login on a computer with CHROME.

HEY BARTENDERS!
Wanna make some tips?
Let’s get some money in your tip jar! Or, would you like to ‘pool’ your tips and send them to a peer?
This is accessible to anyone with a mobile device or home computer or laptop (Zoom & Venmo apps are FREE). Each session lasts for 30 minutes (unless you request to go longer). You (guest bartender) make a drink and tell guests about it… maybe answer some questions on what to do with what folks have in their home bars while we’re all staying in. Guests then send tips to you or your peer via Venmo app. Virtual happy hour guests often stay, chat and cheers longer than 30 minutes however guest bartender obligation is just for the first 30 minutes.
If you’re interested in being a virtual guest bartender, contact me via email at jenn@awecelebrations.com or slide into my DMs on Instagram @awepdx
AWE Productions is making no profits on these virtual events. All proceeds are Venmo'ed directly to service industry volunteering as virtual bartenders!
