Ashley Perkins, a kavatender at Elevate Kava Social Lounge
“I think the Apple-tini is my favorite because we just launched martinis in general,” says Ashley Perkins, kavatender at Elevate Social Lounge. “We use an organic apple cider, and we’re using really nice, well-sourced, local ingredients. It’s important to support the local farmers out there.” (Elevate sources its seasonal ingredients from Maitland’s Farmers Market.) Perkins encourages playfulness when creating beverages. “We have fun with it. We do a lot of sugar and Tajin rims, and love to come up with new signature drinks.”
