TYBEE BEACHCOMBER | APR 2019 19
By Alaina Loughridge
I totally love this lady and am delighted to have her as our April
Bartender of the Month! Joy Horn is our girl and she is rocking the stage
at Riptide Bar on the Pier. Yes! The Pier has a bar and it’s awesome!
Great drinks, fabulous service and the best view in the land! Joy is our
go-to mixologist and I had the opportunity to sit down with her and get
the details on her exotic and fabulous life.
Born in Miami and raised in Disneyland (Anaheim, CA), Joy did her
school thing. At a very young age, she was discovered and immediately
launched off into a career of modeling where she did everything from
representing Victoria’s Secret to promoting perfume for Tommy Hilfiger
(how awesome is that?). However, this chick isn’t just a pretty face!
She’s smart too!
Life changed up a bit and continuing her modeling career, Joy moved
to Las Vegas in her early 20’s and worked for a number of big names
and has appeared on numerous billboards (yes, billboards) hawking
everything from Ford Mustangs to Sanyo and other big names. How
many of us have had their faces on a billboard?? Bucket list checked
for this girl!
Traveling around for a bit, Joy stopped to have the JOY of her life,
Aiden, now 10 years old and more world traveled than most of us. She
and Aiden stopped by Tybee to visit the Godparents and before she knew
it, she moved here (Tybee has a way of doing that). So, for the past six
years, Joy has been working at being a great mom, Tybee living, traveling
the planet, as well as starting her own jewelry company, Transcendent
Treasures. All of her jewelry is custom made and collected from a variety
of different countries (and she has been everywhere!).
So, here’s the real details:
Tybee Life: 6 years
Passion: Traveling and creating artwork from her travels
Grows Up: Happy!
Spirit Animal: A horse. They are calm and steady. Strong and
dependable.
I was excited about trying Joy’s go-to drink, The Jo-Jo Casa Give
Me Another Margarita! She likes to make what she enjoys drinking,
so definitely made with love and as if it’s for herself. Y’all know when
you make your own cocktail, you add the love. Joy adds the love! I was
instantly in love with it and y’all know I know my cocktails!
I love this girl’s spirit! She is always smiling and genuinely enjoys
helping people. Personable and fun, Joy is a must hang-out-with
bartender! Go see Joy at the newly renovated Riptide Bar and get your
Jo-Jo Casa Margarita face on! Located on the Pier!
