Inspiration:

My favorite Mexican treat, dried chili mango pieces. When I was a child, a family friend would bring dried chili mango back after traveling to Mexico, and to me it was always a very special treat. So I thought, why not make a favorite childhood treat into a fantastic cocktail?

Kimber Weissert is a Pittsburgh bartender who has been working the craft for about eight years. She began her bartending journey at Peabody’s Down Under, a concert venue in Cleveland, where she was also a talent buyer by day. She served beer, shots, and basic drinks back in those days. As the years went on, her interest in classic and craft cocktails blossomed. Kimber read both classic and modern cocktail books, and soon began to experiment. In 2013, Kimber moved back to her hometown of Pittsburgh and really began to focus on learning the craft. She joined the USBG in Pittsburgh to get more involved with the cocktail community, and to learn everything she could from her peers. Her hard work paid off this past year when she won regionals in Pittsburgh for the 2016 Woodford Reserve Manhattan Experience, and was one of six finalists picked to compete in the finals. What she enjoys most about bartending is the creative process — and surprising her clientele with unique cocktails and twists on the classics.
