�������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� 23 Ashley is a Colorado girl, who has been living in �������� ������������ ���������� �������� ������������ �������� �������������� �������� ���������������� bartending in downtown Denver back in 2009 and was able to take a job with a corporate bar giving her the opportunity to travel. The job took her from Denver to San Diego and eventually landed her ������ �������������� �� �������� �������� �������������������� �������� �������������� ���������������� Channelside and Ybor whipping up your favorite drinks at District Tavern and Bad Monkey. What is your favorite cocktail to make and what is your personal favorite to drink? In the last two years, I’ve started to appreciate the craft cocktail side of drinks. My favorite cocktail to make is the Holbrook Sour. It’s an original you can only get at District Tavern and includes bacon-washed bourbon and homemade lemon maple foam prepared in-house. Favorite Drink: Whatever you’re buying!! Haha, just kidding. I’ve recently become a huge fan of the classic Old Fashioned. What is the best/worst pickup line you’ve overheard while bartending? 'You’re a 9 and I am the 1 you need.” It was corny, but it made me laugh! What is the funniest story a stranger has shared with you? A customer once told me about how he blacked out while drinking and when he woke up it was from the ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ prepare for landing. Apparently, when he was drunk, he decided to make reservations at a Sushi restaurant in New Orleans, and he was still in his work clothes from the night before. If you were only allowed three bottles of alcohol behind your bar, which three would you choose and why? Don Julio Anejo is my go-to tequila right now, Tito’s, OBVIOUSLY, to keep all the ladies “thirsty” and Basil Hayden Bourbon to make a mean old-fashioned. Where is your favorite Tampa Bay hideout? Bad Monkey because I love good local low-key spots and there are a lot of enjoyable games to play. I’m a sucker for great local “low-key” bars so Bad Monkey and the Retreat are two of my favs. What is one thing most people do not know about you? I played football from the time I was 6 years old to 12, and I was the only girl on the team! I was a total tomboy growing up. What makes you the happiest? All outdoor activities including water. The beach is ���������������������������������������������������� What is your best Tampa moment? Honestly, being recognized in this magazine is pretty cool! Knowing yourself, if you could go back in time and provide your younger self advice, what would it be? I could give her advice, but I already know that girl wouldn’t listen!! Haha. But I would tell myself not to let anyone else’s doubts affect my ambitions and to just go for it! Also… don’t overwax your eyebrows!!!!! ������������������ MOVER & SHAKER SPOTLIGHT Ashley “Erin” Trivet Bartender - District Tavern, Bad Monkey
