Angela Prosper
By day, I’m a designer, writer, and photographer. By night I’m a cocktail creator and culinary geek. I have worked in the food industry for many of my working years. From dishwasher to head bartender, server, line cook, and bar manager. I served healthy snacks to celebrities in the movie industry and flipped burgers in a tiny and sweltering 4-seater dive. I have learned all the right and wrong ways to make a good cup of coffee and how to mix drinks by a New Jersey crooner with 70’s flare. I’m not picky. I love a greasy spoon joint just as much as a posh 5-star restaurant. 2020 Civita Institute Fellow and senior writer for Sip Magazine and Cidercraft Magazine.
