RJ Cooper Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 As we move into the fall, I want to introduce our new cocktail guru: To introduce Jason to R24, we will be featuring all of our cocktails on our list for $9.22. We are still offering the 4x4 4 bites and 4 drinks for $44.00. Jason Swaringen: From an early age Jason Swaringen realized he was meant to create and inspire. Born into a military family he spent his early life traveling between the United States and South East Asia. Jason's life of travel constantly immersed him in the world of the service industry enforcing a passion for being able to provide a memorable experience, a loved journey, and a connection with what you drink and eat. After returning to the DMV in 2005 Jason immediately began working in the hospitality industry, working his way up from host to bartender in both casual and fine dining atmospheres. This upcoming craft bartender is self-taught, never having had a mentor he has relied solely on his personal and professional experiences, continuous research and his passion for the craft. Having worked in some of the finest restaurants and hotels in the DMV including The Hamilton, Fiola Mare and Quill at The Jefferson; Jason often found himself looking towards the kitchen for inspiration. After eight years of bartending it seemed only natural to work alongside chef RJ Cooper and cheftender Bryan Tetorakis at both Gypsy Soul and Rogue 24. Jason's approach to bartending is about the all-encompassing experience. He is driven by providing the best experience for the guest, sharing his diverse approach to bartending, pulling from his own cultural exposure while still being classically inspired. The dichotomy of tradition and innovation is how Jason challenges the DMV bar culture and invites guests to reach beyond their own boundaries. Best deal in the alley! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
