WestonDrinks was created in the Spring of 2020 to help people around the world master and appreciate the art of fine drink-making. It is my belief that everyone deserves a good drink, regardless of where they live, what they have, or what they choose to enjoy.

About Me
My name is Weston Simons and I have been making drinks since 2003, when I was put in charge of the bar making mocktails at a family Christmas Party. I saw that what I was doing made people happy, and that has stuck with me ever since.
I have worked professionally in almost every aspect of the service industry since 2010; as a Busser, Server, Soda Jerk, Bartender, Barback, Mixologist and Bar Manager. In that time I have helped open multiple new cocktail bars, being a part of the design, buildout, menu creation and opening nights. I’ve worked for Corporate Restaurants, Nightclubs, Theaters, Boutique Hotels, Craft Cocktail Bars, and Distilleries.
In 2022 I was named one of the top 15 Bartenders in the United States as a National Finalist in the Diageo World Class US Competition.
I started teaching classes in 2017, and instantly found a love and passion for bar education. Since then, I have trained Bartenders, taught private mixology classes, and given lectures and workshops on everything from the history of Punch to modern Single Malt Whisky production.
It is my belief that with a little knowledge and proper technique, anyone can make a good drink.
And everyone deserves one.
