As a resource to connect you with local Jamaica wedding professionals who can support you at the level of your brand, my "Meet the Vendors" series was created to introduce you to the best vendors that the island has to offer.  These are top-tier vendors who are seasoned, not only in art and craft of what they do, but they provide that exceptional Jamaican hospitality that you have come to expect from our local wedding professionals.  Pair this with the pride they take in their brand and their company offering and you have pure, world-class gold!

3:36 This week’s guest is my hidden gem, one of a kind, “coup de grace” vendor that I pull out as the finale when a client says custom, crafted cocktail bar!

5:18 our bartender Gossett  “Gussi Badz” likes to think of himself as “the baddest thing on two feet in a bar” and I totally concur!

9:55 He likes to know where his clients are coming from so that he can figure out their regional palate and work with what their tastebuds are used to.

10:25 Gossett loves to start crafting his cocktails by deciding on his sweet, sour, his spirit and then a modifier

*A modifier is a cocktail ingredient, usually alcoholic and typically a fortified wine or a liqueur, that both softens the base spirit, and adds flavour to the drink.

11:25 Gossett likes to craft cocktails, beverages and wine-based cobblers, etc but tells us how the base of these differ and how he stacks the different elements for different types of drinks

19:38 Our cocktail enthusiast's favourite drink is anything with mezcal with a hint of spice like a scotch bonnet ring!

20:25 – His fav cocktail is called Paradise Island and it’s a twist on an Amaretto Sour. He uses I part Amaretto (Disarono preferably), 1-part simple syrup, 1 part lime juice, 1 part overproof rum, and 3 to 4 dashes of aromatic bitters and garnish with a mint sprig and a lime wedge. Ensure that you bruise the mint sprig and add it to the top of the drink. Check out the link below to a video to see him do that.
