Cammy girl...is that you? Why yes it is me. Where you been Cammy? Well, life has happened in some truly unexpected and unprecedented ways, but I am not going to get into all that, that's not what you're here for.
In the words of Jay-Z, allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Cammy with the Cocktails and this is Cocktails with Cammy. Initially, when I started this blog a couple of years ago, I had these big plans on what it was going to look like but life took me to some places and I chose to not focus on blogging. Even though I wasn't blogging, I still felt like there was a need for my voice, particularly where I am now. That need to hear my voice is what brought me back. #YoureWelcome
What is Cocktails with Cammy going to look like now? It'll feature a variety of posts, from cocktail recipes, bartender profiles, a how-to drink guide (how to drink a variety of spirits and wines) as well as different venue recommendations and reviews primarily for young and young at heart black professionals of the East Bay. There will also be profiles on Black entrepreneurs in the beverage industry, also in the East Bay.
When I started Cocktails with Cammy, there was a part of me still holding on to the expectations from my early 20s when I started going out in Washington, DC. I longed for venues and experiences like the ones I had as I was wrapping up my undergraduate career. The truth is and has always been that the Bay Area has never been DC and DC has never been the Bay Area. The things that I experienced in DC could have only happened in DC. But 20 years later (wait, what?), the things that I'm looking for are different but similar. I still like a place that makes good drinks, good bar food is also a plus, a good vibe, and a good crowd. Cocktails with Cammy will be a hub for all those things and more.
