Julia’s introduction to the spirits world began at the tender age of eleven when her father taught her his favorite recipes from Dale Degroff’s “The Craft of the Cocktail” (so that she could make them for him, not herself). She majored in the Anthropology of Food and Beverage at Indiana University and upon graduation launched right into the joys of the hospitality industry. She was on the opening staffs of Three Dots and a Dash, Milk Room, and Lost Lake, where she currently resides as bar manager. In addition to her time behind the bar, she has also competed multiple times in Speed Rack, an all-female speed bartending competition, and earned a BAR Ready distinction in the prestigious BAR 5-Day certification program. When she is not bartending, you can find Julia biking around the city or trying to teach her cat Pigeon to walk on a leash.
