About Me
In her fifteen years in hospitality, Amber Aristy has had the chance to see the industry from every angle. With experience in both store sales and bartending, today she’s a trendsetting, creative beverage pro with a passion for making memories and telling stories. Her enthusiasm “cannot be overstated” and she’s been said to have infectious energy for all things distilled. Amber believes her professional superpower is making production concepts easy to understand, which makes for an inclusive and welcoming environment.
A former student of Georgia State, Amber has an enthusiasm for the sciences that led her to pursue the CSS, WSET level 3 certification in spirits, and the BarSmarts advanced designation. She loves educating like-minded souls on spirits production and history and believes that “being hospitable is the greatest gift a person can give to a stranger.”
