Check Out the San Diego Regional Winner in the Craft the Fun Cocktail Challenge

San Diego semi-finalist winner Jennifer Yim earns a spot in the Craft the Fun finals and is going to Austin, Texas!!

“Deep Eddy embodies everything I love about mixology—authenticity, quality, sustainability, and a deep sense of community. Their dedication to creating genuine, enjoyable experiences and warm hospitality mirrors my own philosophy behind the bar,” explains Jennifer.

“The idea of crafting something fun and memorable aligns perfectly with my approach to cocktails. I’m constantly seeking new ways to push the boundaries of creativity, and this competition provides the ideal platform to do just that while honoring a brand I truly respect.”

“When I’m behind the bar, my goal is to make every guest feel like they’ve stepped into a place where they truly belong—a space where they can unwind, connect, and enjoy a good laugh. I want them to feel excited and curious, knowing they’re about to experience something special. To create that fun environment, I engage with my patrons, share the stories behind each drink, and occasionally surprise them with a playful twist on a classic. It’s all about crafting an atmosphere where every cocktail is more than just a drink; it’s a moment, a memory, and a touch of joy in a glass.”

Congratulations Jennifer!! Good luck in Austin!
