During the pandemic, I transitioned from writing and bartending to data science. I write more code than articles these days, but my love for spirits and cocktails hasn’t gone anywhere!

In 2013, I quit my office job to learn the art of craft bartending. One side effect of the change was that I started thinking about drinks and food and flavor. A LOT. Making drinks lead to researching and writing about them, and my former occupation was born.

See Clair Write was initially created as a catchall. Now, it’s evolved into a chronicle of everything cocktail-related, which includes most aspects of my life. I’ll be refining my craft for the rest of my life, and I couldn’t be more excited.

As a writer, I specialize in drinks, bartending, science, food, and the science behind flavor. I’m also the author of Spooky Cocktails (2025), Romantic Cocktails (Feb. 2019) and The Classic & Craft Cocktail Recipe Book (Feb. 2017)!

When I’m not writing (or working my full-time data job), you can find me on a walk with my husband and dog, cooking up a new recipe, or napping.
