About Machito

Mario (aka Machito) was born and raised in Connecticut. Mario attempted going to school to be an accountant before he realized his passion for mixology. He bartended legendary parties at Fox Woods, private penthouse parties in New York, and was an instructor for ______.

About Janessa

I was born and raised in Nebraska, originally from a small town of 200 people until I went to college Lincoln. After graduating, I had my dream job and a magnificent apartment overlooking the capitol. In the summer of 2016, I realized I was bored and wanted more so within 3 weeks I’d quit that dream job and moved to Breckenridge, CO.

A few years into life in Colorado, I was offered a gig bartending once a week in a hotel. Unfortunately without a proper teacher, I never got the hang of it. The one good thing that came from that job was meeting the love of my life – Machito!

The Best of Both Worlds

Thanks to quarantining for the better part of 2020, I have an ever growing home bar and a new appreciation for Machito’s talents. As a failed bartender, I fully believe that if he can teach me how to make his fabulous concoctions then I can teach you! Together, we can both learn from the pro.
