Services - Paris • Cocktails • Bars

COCKTAIL JOURNALISM

I write for some great sites and publications like Drinks International or Worlds Best Bars. You’ll also occasionally find me at HiP Paris, on Serious Eats, Drinks International and more. My current book Drink Like a Local Paris was published in Nov 2023 by Cider Mill Press, an arm of Harper Collins.

If you’d like to hire me to write a cocktail article, my current rate is .50 centimes/word. This rate is slightly negotiable depending on the size of your publication and expense reimbursement policy.

Unfortunately, I’m not in a position to accept guest posts at this time, both out of respect for my paying clients and for fellow drinks writers who make a living doing the same.

Looking for specific information for yourself on the cocktails, spirits, and bars in France and beyond. I’m happy to help! I’ve spent nearly 20 years researching just that and can help with any information you might need.

Telephone consultation rates: 75 Euros per hour for phone consultations
