“A lot of other brands are not balanced in their weight, and you can actually get hurt using them.” “The Barfly shaker is perfectly weighted so I can keep shaking all night long,” Tom says. She uses Barfly tools she keeps in her mixologist bag (also available from Mercer Culinary), to make those creative ideas a reality. Like any great bartender, Tom draws inspiration from her surroundings when building a cocktail menu. You can find her signature beverages at local establishments such as Classic Car Club in Manhattan and Mayflower in Brooklyn. Her schedule is packed, making touches at speakeasies and cocktail lounges all over the five boroughs. Tom’s routine is not your average bar crawl. She designed the cocktail program for this award-winning, trendy Brooklyn locale, where the negronis and amaro flow in abundance. We met Tom at LaRina Pastificio recently to discuss all things strainers, shakers and stirrers. “Then I make sure they’re pretty.” Chockie Tom “First and foremost, my bar supplies have to work as good utilitarian tools,” she says. Tom always uses Barfly by Mercer when bartending and designing cocktail menus for restaurants nationwide, citing the perfect combination of functionality and aesthetic. Her appreciation for quality barwares is here to stay.
F or Chockie Tom, bar supplies are more than just accessories.Īfter all, the Brooklyn-based cocktail consultant and Thomas Henry Brand Ambassador for the United States has a jigger and strainer tattooed on her forearm.
