Have cocktail, will travel: three popular bartenders-for-hire who are ready to shake and deliver

Any good holiday party shares a few key components: a killer playlist, an energetic crowd and, of course, a festive beverage or two.

Your guests will be impressed, and you’ll have time to enjoy the party instead of worrying about the status of everyone’s glass. Here, three stellar Toronto mixologists who will bring the bar to you.
