How it all started

In March of 2020, we both lost our jobs at The Ice Plant in downtown St. Augustine, FL, due to the shut down of businesses during Covid. After 3 weeks of unemployment with no end in sight, we decided to promote our love for hospitality and started an Instagram page, posting homemade cocktails and food recipes. Once restrictions were lifted, we received requests to bartend for friends who were not ready to go back to bars and restaurants. “This could be something special.” we thought.

In April of 2021, we registered McKarl’s Libations & Cuisine LLC with SunBiz and received our license with the state. We have since grown into a Hospitality group promoting spirit education and elevating special events with craft cocktail and high end levels of hospitality.
