On March 24, Brooks, 33 began ‘Virtual Bartending Classes’ through Facebook.
Being faced with due dates for her own bills, Brooks said she knew others were grappling with financial challenges as well and opted to offer free virtual bartending courses.
Since her launch in late March, Brooks has hosted several virtual bartending sessions and taught her viewers how to create drinks such as Mimosas, Tropical Fruit Cocktail Cosmos, Peach Margaritas and Frozès.
In addition to her bartending tutorials, Brooks has spent her time in quarantine educating aspiring entrepreneurs on how to start and run a business.
Although the coronavirus pandemic has presented an unfortunate time for many businesses, and the hospitality industry in particular, Brooks said she feels “inspired and positive about Bardiva.”
