When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020, Brandon Sweeney decided to turn the lockdown into a positive experience. He became interested in mixology and began watching YouTube channels like The Educated Barfly and How To Drink, as well as reading various cocktail blogs and websites.
After experimenting with numerous cocktail recipes and building a diverse spirit collection, Sweeney started creating his own drinks. His first original cocktail, “Mr. Peanut,” combined Screwball whiskey, bourbon, sarsaparilla bitters, and demerara simple syrup. The name was suggested by his wife, who praised the drink’s unique flavor profile.
Sweeney continues to explore the world of mixology, experimenting with different ingredients and techniques. He credits the cocktail community for inspiring his passion for creating new and delicious drinks.
