The Peacock Inn Introduces New Bar Blog

Landing on earth at the tail end of Generation X, Chris is well versed in Atari, Japanese Animation, skydiving and all things beverage. His resume lists stints at several cocktail bars throughout NYC, including Saxon and Parole, which won the prestigious'Tales of the Cocktail' Spirited Award for 'Best Restaurant Bar USA in 2013 during his employment. He also poured and stirred at The gin bar Madam Geneva, as well as the Michelin starred Lincoln Ristorante. Chris also bartended at Momofuku Ssam Bar and Ma Peche before becoming the Bar and Spirits Director for Momofuku, where he was the creative mind behind several of their diverse beverage programs. When the laws in NYC made it possible for spirits to be distilled in New York City Chris became the Distiller for Kings County Distillery, where he spent his days making Bourbon, Brandy and Moonshine in a warehouse in Brooklyn.
Having spent his childhood in New Jersey, Chris decided to come back home a few months ago. He is now working as the Head Bartender at The Peacock Inn where he hopes to continue to be challenged and is able to stay on the path towards creating new and innovative programs behind the bar. Also, he has never played Atari and is slightly creeped out by Japanese Animation. The rest is true.

The Peacock Inn's New Bar Blog |
When I began my career as a bartender there was no such thing as cocktail menus. The word cocktail didn't even really exist, come to think of it. Back then, in the early 2000's, if you wanted to look at a menu of drinks that consisted of a mixture of spirits and juices, you asked for the 'Martini list.' I worked at some great places and we had some great 'martinis,' concoctions like the 'Flirtini,' which was some kind of flavored vodka with cranberry juice and some other juice from a can and sparkling wine, and we had the 'Appletini,' which was vodka and sweet green stuff called 'pucker,' and there was the 'Peachtini' and the 'Strawberrytini' and some of the 'martinis' didn't even have the word 'tini' at the end, but still we called them 'martinis.' ...READ MORE

5 Ways to Be a More Productive Blogger
Blogging is a tool that can establish you as an expert and bring you more customers. During the past two years, I have written over 250 blog articles and also published a book - all while operating a full-time business. Listed below are my top tips on how you can become a more productive writer.
1. Get Started - If you are considering starting a blog, getting started is probably the most difficult step. Your mind may sabotage you with objections like “I don’t have anything important to say,” or “I’m a terrible writer,” or “I don’t have the time.” Nonsense. Select a topic, reserve a block of time to write, and then just do it. Voila, you now have your first blog article! The more you write, the easier it becomes.
2. Pick a Time That Works for You - Writing requires focus, so pick a time where potential distractions are minimal. For example, I enjoy writing in the morning or late at night. While writing, close out the various windows on your computer so that you can focus solely on writing.
3. Use Templates - For writing, and blogging in particular where basic HTML coding is required, I rely on templates. This prevents me from having to start from scratch every time. As an example, when writing a “Wedding Gig Log” where I review a wedding DJ experience, the articles always follow the same format with an introductory paragraph about the couple, a paragraph about the service and options we provided, followed by key songs from the reception, followed by several YouTube music videos, followed by an “About Us” section.
4. Focus on Quality over Quantity - Shakespeare once wrote that “brevity is the soul of wit” and he was right. Particularly in today’s society of information overload, readers are short on time and may just scan your article if it’s too long. So get to the point, and incorporate some pretty photos to maintain interest. Include links for readers who many want more information on your topic.
5. Stay Inspired - Whether you’re a wedding DJ, exterminator or lawyer - you DO have a wealth of knowledge to share. Stay curious about your world and constantly be thinking of new ideas for articles. Get creative! And if you should hit a lull where ideas are scant, then take a break. Do something fun with your family, and you’re bound to find your next inspiration very soon!
