Who We Are
DrinkWell Co. is Adam Stemmler and Jason O'Bryan, two cocktail bartenders who, in March of 2020, found themselves without a bar to tend. Hospitality isn't about recipes, it's about people, and for the first time in years they missed the ability to provide an experience to their guests. DrinkWell Co. is what came out of that longing: a fun, interactive cocktail class for the socially distant and widely dispersed. Adam and Jason will lead your group through the best techniques, the fascinating history, and the professional tricks to make cocktail bar quality drinks right from your own home, and in the process arming you with the confidence to make them for others. Adam and Jason love sharing the knowledge they’ve gathered over their combined 35 years in this industry, not the least of which the fact that cocktails are always better when we make them together.
Adam Stemmler
has been featured in Esquire, Chilled Magazine, and GQ, among others, and is the winner of the Bombay Sapphire Most Imaginative Bartender Competitions, URBN Bartender Competition, and the national Green Bar Bitters competition. He co-founded and is the Director of Operations of the Farm League Restaurant Group which owns, manages, or consults on around two dozen bars in and around the San Francisco Bay Area.
Jason O’Bryan
is the bar manager of the Lion's Share in San Diego, weekly cocktail correspondent for the Robb Report, writer and owner of DrinksandDrinking.com, and the winner of the Saltbox Bartender Challenge, "Farm to Glass" Bartender Competition, and led the bar team that won 2015's "Best of the Best" Competition in San Diego. San Diego Magazine named both him and Adam as two of the top 20 bartenders in the city.
“Our team brought Adam for a virtual cocktail making party for our Holiday event. The team LOVED Adam, in particular all of the fascinating insights around cocktails, alcohol and how to make several versions with different ingredients, or even using every day items as tools! Not only was it informative but it was super fun! We would bring Adam back in a heartbeat and have referred him to other teams at Sephora as well!”
