Introduction: Hi there, and thanks in advance for stopping by my page! For the past few years, I have been lucky enough to have been fully booked between my private clients as well as teaching my own virtual mixology course! I'm back on Thumbtack with a group of rockstar mixologists and culinary trained chefs, ready to bring our professional and elite services to you! In fact, we guarantee you'll be beyond satisfied with an service(s) you contract myself or any staff member for (as everyone has been procured carefully-we are the best of the best!) that if you are not fully satisfied, for any reason, we will happily provide a full refund immediately. Give our Designer Drinks & Dietetics company an opportunity to elevate any of your future events. We are here for you!! After studying food science for several years (along with food service management, dietetics, and nutritional science), I was fortunate enough to discover a tremendous passion for the art and science of mixology! I have been shaking, stirring, rolling, and building custom craft cocktails since 2014, and genuinley enjoy the work more and more each time. The only aspect more gratifying than the creation element itself is the opportunity to serve and cater to a wide variety of guests. Customer satisfaction is always the primary goal to be accomplished! I have accumulated over 10 years of related experience, including catering, restaurant, bar, lounge, private event, as well as large-scale operation management positions. I would love to bring my passion, experience, knowledge, and positive energy to your next event !

Amal served as a fantastic bartender for my daughters 21st birthday party where she made a wonderful mixes of both alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages for our guests based on their personal preferences. She was very professional and created some unique and excellent drinks that very quickly became the beverages of choice for many of our guests. In spite of remaining professional throughout her time, she was able to maintain a personal level of service, being able to customize drinks to our guests’ individual preferences which made her a hit with all of our guests, from teens having mocktails to adults enjoying liquors of their choice, all of which were customized to their tastes. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the service she provided and will undoubtedly hire her again in the future for any parties we plan to have.

DO NOT HIRE! Was in communication before event, but completely ignored texts and calls the day of the event. Reviews for this service are old, I feel like the account was hacked with a scammer who enjoys wasting people's time. Our event had no bartender, which was heartbreaking after the time and money spent for the party. The morning after the party they texted that they had a car accident. They have been reported to Thumbtack app.

Designer Drinks & Dietetics's reply

Hi Brittany, thank you for taking the time out to leave this review for a variety of reasons. Mainly due to the unfortunate fact that after the three car accident in which I was sandwiched in the middle of a few hours before you did indeed contract me to work for 2 hours in which I was certainly looking forward to attending as it was my first official booked client back on the Thumbtack Application. Although I was quite literally fortune enough to walk away with very minor (mainly back) discomfort, others involved suffered much more serious injuries, and most unfortunately of all I was unable to assist them but rather watch helplessly in horror as EMS arrived. I truly am so sorry I wasn't able to attend the event (again, I was contracted for 2 hrs for) however I was legitimately preoccupied with what I would describe as one of the most traumatizing traffic incidents I've seen (certainly involved in) on the PCH in some time. Thank you for checking on my well-being (I am now officially cleared to work!) so other potential clients that I may be able to provide a beyond satisfactory service to in the near future will not have to wonder if I am a "scammer" by this incredibly misleading (truly savage), somewhat fabricated and overall saddening review. I am indeed the professional I present myself to be as well as a human being that happens to be beyond disappointed by the lack of regard for literal human life in your review. Again, I am sorry I was unable to attend your event ma'am. Kindly, Amal
