He has worked for some of the city’s most iconic bars and restaurants and is currently at one of the country’s most beloved former speakeasies, the 21 Club. A passionate cocktail enthusiast, Mark combines his love for the classics with an appreciation for modern techniques, so as to create drinks that are both timeless and innovative. He and his cocktails have been featured in numerous print and online publications, such as The New York Times and Men’s Journal, as well as tv and film productions, including Good Day New York, Good Morning America, BarTales New York and Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. Over the past few years, Mark has been fortunate enough to have competed in some of the industry’s most notable cocktail competitions, advancing to the regional finals of Real McCoy Rum’s “Search for the Real McCoy” in 2016, the National semi-finals of Bacardi Legacy in 2019 and the National finals of Bombay Sapphire’s Most Imaginative Bartender competition in 2020. He also created the first ever official cocktails for the Breeders’ Cup and has been working closely with bartenders at racetracks across the country to implement these new recipes on a large scale. Additionally, Mark has been active in the realm of consulting, assisting bars and restaurants in the NYC area in developing unique cocktail menu concepts that are tailored to the needs of their individual F&B programs. Most recently, he has begun doing online cocktail tutorials in partnership with the Breeders’ Cup and NBC, which has afforded him the opportunity to share his love of mixology with thousands of viewers each week. In an effort to keep cocktail culture alive and well during these challenging times, Mark has founded an online educational company, The MT Glass Mixology, through which he proudly offers a wide array of personalized seminars to individual and corporate clients alike.
