The Bartender: Sarah Smith

Age entered the industry: 20, I went into a local burger place with a T-shirt that had skulls on it. The owner liked my shirt and hired me.

What she likes about the job: It’s like being a chemist, making up new drinks. I like making people happy, regulars and new customers.

A good story: I like watching people on first dates. It can be really funny, or awkward. You can tell how it’s going and sometimes I can help them out.

On winning the lottery: I would buy a house in one of the new neighborhoods in Florida built by Disney. It includes free admission to the park. I’d like that.

Dream job: I’d be a video game tester. I am a super nerd.

.5 oz. Cointreau

Blood orange syrup, to taste

Top with house-made lemon-lime mix.
