Baby Shower in NYC · Verified Booking
"The whole experience was seamless! Daniel prepared the Instacart orders based on the cocktails I wanted and found a liquor store with good prices. He came early with everything needed — martini glasses, bitters, a juicer. The cocktails exceeded my expectations — delicious, sophisticated, and creative. He made my guests feel comfortable and cleaned before he left. Wouldn't change a thing!"
