The Owner

Hey, I’m Eric, the heart behind Platinum Private Bartending! I founded this brand in 2025 after about 10 years working in the hospitality industry. Upon turning 21, I developed a genuine passion for the art and science of mixology and began bar-backing at the restaurant I worked in (where every good bartender starts). For months I studied how to count my pour, which vodkas are gluten free, the best way to express an orange peel, how to clarify cocktails and batch them, etc. I was quickly obsessed with the art of cocktails! Each time a guest told me that I made the best old fashioned or the perfect dirty martini, it fueled my desire to continue pouring love and perfectionism into each glass, I began to channel my creativity by combining new ingredients and concocting new recipes to share with patrons.

I’m drawn to drinks because of the complex stories each one has. Some spirits go through years of aging, whereas others have over 100 different botanicals included in their flavor profile. Cocktails are a way of retelling century old stories of how these recipes originated and how these drinks have brought people together.

This work is personal to me - and after working in a variety of settings from restaurant bars to private events, I knew I wanted to create a brand that offered a human touch to every pour; garnished with creativity and care.

Aside from crafting cocktails, I am an elementary music teacher during the school year and my hobbies include: playing pickleball, grabbing a craft coffee, or planning my next travel destination!
