With 15 years behind the bar, Florence Neona has built a reputation in San Diego as the kind of bartender people actually remember. Her craft has taken her through fast-moving hospitality scenes in San Francisco, Seattle, and Hawaii, shaping a style that’s both versatile and unmistakably her own. Equal parts high-volume powerhouse and intuitive mixologist, she moves easily between packed bars and more intentional, crafted experiences—making drinks that hit on every level.
Her approach blends solid cocktail technique with a background in holistic herbalism, bringing in botanicals, adaptogens, and unexpected flavor combos to create signature elixirs that go beyond your standard drink. Her inspiration pulls from everywhere—coastal ingredients, city bar culture, and wellness practices—without feeling forced or overcomplicated.
Beyond the bar, she’s known for how naturally she connects with people. Her cocktail classes are hands-on, engaging, and actually fun—focused on helping people trust their instincts, get creative, and understand what they’re doing without making it feel technical or intimidating. People leave with real skills, confidence, and their own spin on things.
The nature of our classes are set up so that booking parties will work together during class, sharing both ingredients and equipment. Outside drinks are not allowed. 21+ only.
