Using his chemical engineering background, J.W. is known for his one-of-a-kind custom cocktails. With his washed & reclaimed spirits, PH-balanced cordials, and protein-clarified juices, he conceptualizes cocktails around your event theme, your guest of honor's interests, or even nicknames, memories, and inside jokes. Each component builds on the others into three-layer cocktail "cake," a consumable centerpiece that you and your guests will remember long after the last drop. These cocktail centerpieces are available to add on to any booking or as pre-batches for self-service tablescapes.
LA's most comprehensive artisanal cocktail program for events. I provide my Signature bar & professional setup, Signature product line (including my toasted syrup, toasted cocktail rim, charred bitters, & charred liqueres), fruit hand-juiced to-order -- as well as ice, mixers, drinkware, garnishes, and all other necessities for service -- to offer your guests over 20 crafted cocktail options. and intimate mixology experience (xJW is currently a dry-hire service and will assist in creating a purchase list for your spirits, beer, and wine.)
Cocktail centerpiece: a one-of-a-kind cocktail -- and mocktail variant -- with completely custom infusions, fat or smoke washes, fresh-pressed clarified, acid-balanced cordials, and personalized signage. These are truly never-been-done before cocktails that I liken to a liquid three-layer cake designed for the guest of honor. I base these off of inside jokes, sweet anecdotes, memories, nicknames, etc. One orders serves ~30 person event. Always the most requested drink of the night. Available as a booking add-on or delivery for your next self-service event.
J.W. Harvey has led some of the most high-volume bar programs from coast to coast, including Lisa Vanderpump's PUMP (West Hollywood, CA), NOVIKOV (Beverly Hills, CA), Coffee Shop bar (Union Square, NYC), and ELMO (Chelsea, NYC).
