Joel Black

Mixologist Joel Black

With over 6 years mixing liquid libations, Joel Black has influenced beverage consumers across the country.  Joel first got his start training under renowned mix master Sammy Ross of Milk & Honey NYC in preparation to launch Chef David Myers’ cocktail program for the LA hot spot Comme Ca restaurant.  After several cocktail competition wins including LA’s Hennessy bar chef competition in 2009, Joel moved on to consult on cocktail menus for over 30 restaurants and bars across the country.  Vanity Fair, LA times, LA weekly, and Details magazine are just a few of the publications in which Joel has appeared. When it comes to crafting a cocktail Black is like a sushi chef who doesn’t make California rolls.
