I honed my mixology skills at the Oak Room of the Copley Plaza Hotel in Boston. Other experience includes the Four Seasons Hotel in Chicago, and the Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage, where I facilitated community tasting events while bartending at the Crow's Nest. I am currently working with a team of mixologists at Simon & Seafort's. To date, I have created more than 300 new cocktails. I've lived in Anchorage since 1999.

Platinum Jaxx Surprises!

Get ready for Mothers Day now!

A good friend recently told me about Easter Brunch at Platinum Jaxx.
Though I usually focus on the Bartending aspects of my subjects, I felt this went hand in hand.

Besides having an Omelete Bar and Chef carving station they also have Bloody Mary and Mimosa Bars. You order your alcohol whether it be Vodka or Champagne and then build your own drinks.

How fun is that!

Fresh ingredients and housemade Bloody Mary mixes, plus all of the fixings make for a meal in a glass.

Momosa science glamorizes this bar; Rasberry, Blueberry, Peach or Strawberry flavors leaves the mind spinning on what a Sunday here can be like.

Though there is an abundance of food on the buffet, I'm focusing on these beverage buffets. The price ranges from $4.00-$6.00 per drink on the beverage bars.

Heads-up, you had better make your reservation now for Mothers Day on May 11th. If you don't have your Mom here, head in anyway for a great overall brunch experience.

The price for Brunch is $30.00 for adults an $15.00 for children under 12.

Sorry, kids can't participate in the beverage bar.

This is a bargain compared with all of the all you can eats at other places in town.

You won't see the berveage bars again until fall when football season starts again.

Call 278-5299 now. Rumor has it they will be sold out in advance so don't miss out on a unique experience.

Hey! Why not do this at least one Suday a month guys. I'll bet the tourist would love it!

I'll be looking a little more deeper into there specialty cocktail selections in the near future.

Ask for Angie if you need more info.

Salut!
