Steve the Bartender

About Steve the Bartender

With over 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry, I launched a mobile cocktail bartending business in 2012, crafting cocktails for hundreds of private events and functions. In 2015, I decided to share my passion for cocktails on YouTube, and since then, my channel has grown into a thriving community of over 750,000 cocktail enthusiasts. My easy-to-follow cocktail videos have been viewed more than 70 million times, and I am incredibly grateful to be part of a community that shares my love for cocktails.

Recently, I released my own book, Steve the Bartender’s Cocktail Guide. This book is the ultimate resource for both beginner and intermediate home and professional bartenders. It includes an introduction to cocktails, a Spirits 101 section, and 125 modern and classic cocktail recipes, complete with full-page photos and QR codes linking to step-by-step videos. You can check it out at COCKTAILGUIDE.COM.
