The JalbiteDrinks Journey
This adventure began not in a fancy bar, but in the middle of a storm—literally. During a hurricane in New Orleans, our founder Amelia Langford crafted her first Bees Knees cocktail using pantry odds and ends: some leftover lemon, a drizzle of honey, and a splash of gin.
That night, with candles flickering and neighbors swapping stories in the dark, Amelia realized something: cocktails are about connection. From that makeshift bar to mixology workshops in Lisbon and rooftop nights in San Francisco, JalbiteDrinks became a celebration of flavor and fellowship.
“A great cocktail doesn’t just impress—it connects.” – Amelia Langford
