Over the course of ten years, I have worked in the service industry as a bartender turned mixologist. With that experience, I have been developing a book that teaches the foundational steps for new bartenders striving to become mixologists and understand the bar business.

I was born and raised in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, by a mixed Caribbean family for a large portion of my life. My mother moved to New York from Trinidad and Tobago after being recognized as the former Miss Trinidad. My father, Dahved Levy, is a well-known radio personality from Barbados. Growing up in New York, I witnessed the transformation of Fort Greene, as well as the many iterations of the restaurant space that has now become Mango Bay.

Fortunately, I have been given the opportunity to consult on and manage the new Mango Bay bar program. In this role, I have been working closely with Chef London to create a delicious bar menu that complements his artistic style in the kitchen. Some of the classic Caribbean flavors we all know and love are infused and transformed into well-balanced, handcrafted cocktails that will keep you coming back for more.
