Yves started this business because, as a lifelong bartender who has mixed drinks all across the nation, from dive bars to 2 Michelin-starred establishments, and as a newly sober individual, they were tired of getting the same old mint, lime, cucumber mocktail while their drinking friends enjoyed complex, balanced, delicious, thoughtful cocktails. Yves is passionate about @keepcomingbackbar because they believe that we all deserve #freedom in how we choose to imbibe, #perspective in making wise choices for ourselves, our lives and our bodies, #contentment in the breadth of exceptional variety we can now enjoy to consume, and yes, even #joy in celebration of the gifts of a clear mind.
