So, if you're looking for a San Diego bartender that can charm even your angry Aunt Helen for your next event (wedding, bachelorette party, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, anniversary party, engagement party), look no further than <a href="http://www.kevinsbartendingservices.com/">Kevin's Bartending Services, LLC</a>.<br /><br />I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin at a wedding industry event a few months ago. He was serving up some delicious Sangria but more importantly lots of laughs. We hit it off and I got the chance to interview him about his business. He shared some insider tips (like how to figure out how much money that boose is going to cost you!) and a little about how he started his business. Check it out below!<br /><br /><div><span style="font-size: 85%;">How did you start your business? <span style="font-style: italic;">I started KBS (Kevin's Bartending Services) 6 years ago after being tired of fighting for shifts at a job I was a bartender at. I was introduced to the private party industry and noticed at the time there was no one really doing it in San Diego, so I took a gamble and so far that gamble has paid off.</span></span></div><span style="font-size: 85%;"></span><div><span style="font-size: 85%;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 85%;"><br />What kinds of events have you bartended for? <span style="font-style: italic;">Birthdays, Weddings, Holiday events, Corporate functions, Nationwide Tour with Puma, Festivals, Funerals, Mocktail events (non alcoholic), etc</span></span></div><span style="font-size: 85%;"> </span><div><span style="font-size: 85%;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 85%;"><br />What is your favorite part of bartending? <span style="font-style: italic;">Seeing my clients happy and fulfilled. Nothing better than to execute on your word, and have people appreciate you for making their day just a little better. Many of my clients have become like family to me.<br /></span></span></div><span style="font-size: 85%;"> </span><div><span style="font-size: 85%;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 85%;">What are the biggest bartending trends for 2011? <span style="font-style: italic;">I'd like to say the biggest trends for 2011 are flavored Martini's. </span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 85%;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 85%;">What is your favorite drink? <span style="font-style: italic;">Well, as a bartender who doesn't drink, I would say my favorite drink is a classic Lynchburg Lemonade.<br /></span></span></div><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;"></span></span></span><div><span style="font-size: 85%;">How much should you budget for alcohol at a wedding/party? Certain amount/person?<span style="font-style: italic;"> I always tell our clients to budget at least $1000 per 100 guest.</span></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size: 85%;">What is your favorite cake flavor? (I had to throw this one in there!)<span style="font-style: italic;"> My all time favorite cake is yellow cake with chocolate frosting! #1 cake EVER!</span></span></div><br />Kevin also shared the recipe for his favorite drink, Lynchbgurg Lemonade with me. I plan on trying it out ASAP! It sounds perfect for those hot summer afternoons by the pool or to wash down a Lemon Cake Pop.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ewNxMeIPH_U/TgUl51qSeBI/AAAAAAAAAj8/zL-RQl9gjCE/s1600/lemonade.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621941385429153810" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ewNxMeIPH_U/TgUl51qSeBI/AAAAAAAAAj8/zL-RQl9gjCE/s400/lemonade.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Lynchburg Lemonade</div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-family: tahoma;">1 part </span><span style="font-family: tahoma;">Jack Daniel's® Tennessee whiskey</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 85%;">1 part</span><span style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 85%;">sweet and sour mix</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 85%;">1 part</span><span style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 85%;">triple sec</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px;"><span style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 85%;">4 parts</span><span style="font-family: tahoma; font-size: 85%;">Sprite® soda</span></span></div><br />For Tailored Sweets blog readers Kevin is offering a special deal: 3 hours of bartending for $80!
