Jennifer Brian is a proud Kentucky girl born in the Bluegrass. With a family hailing from the hills of Eastern Kentucky, her earliest memories of the gracious warmth, fabulous food, and decades of food traditions are the foundation for all her culinary and beverage endeavors.
She has spent the last 25 years as an entrepreneur in the hospitality industry, first as a luxury caterer, then as an event planner, and now a cocktail evangelist as co-founder and sole proprietor of Make & Muddle. In September of 2025 she will add published author to her list of accomplishments when her cocktail cookbook, The Classic Cocktail Revival, is released by University Press of Kentucky.
Collaboration is the cornerstone of all business for Jennifer. Her entire career has been about forging relationships with the best in the business. She is as passionate about education as she is about collaboration. New tasting experiences create informed and enthusiastic consumers. The often-intimidating world of cocktails is accessible. The Cocktail Evangelist and Make and Muddle are here to show you how delicious and easy cocktails can be.
