Hi! I'm Brynn Smith, your resident cocktail maker and the gal behind Bartending Pretty.

An Angeleno by way of a small town in Washington state, I've worked in the hospitality industry for many years, during which time I developed a voracious passion for concocting libations. In 2011, at the height of the craft cocktail renaissance, that passion became a full-time career — and I've since been curating menus, consulting on programs, making cocktail content, and mixing at some of the coolest places in Los Angeles.

So... what's Bartending Pretty all about?

Bartending Pretty is where I share my personal recipes, inspiration, tips, and tricks for making all my favorite cocktails. I've developed a personal philosophy that's anchored in a love of a fresh juices, seasonal produce, old world spirits, and small batch artisanal liquor, all of which I combine with my essential (and favorite!) ingredient: beauty. Simply put, Bartending Pretty is all about sharing that philosophy, and inspiring people to bring incredible flavor to their at-home bars, complete with a little art, whimsy, and glamour.
