Wendy Helene Hodges
Wendy has been “behind the stick” since 1982. Her focus for the last 9 years has been on hand crafted cocktails. The technical term used today for what she does is Mixologist, but she likes to call herself a “throw back” bartender.
Currently working at the Fusion Latin Mixology bar in the Palazzo, Wendy gets creative 5 days a week for your viewing and tasting pleasure! She is also a member of the USBG Las Vegas chapter, travels around the country mixin’ it up for Mixology events, and works with couples to create one of a kind specialty cocktails for their weddings.
“Like the bartenders from back in the day, I use all fresh ingredients in my cocktails. I specialize in creating cocktails specifically for my guest’s tastes as well as staying true to classic cocktails and the art behind them.”
“My specialty drink changes according to the guest I am serving. My two favorite cocktails to make are the original 1944 Trader Vic Mai Tai and the Spirit in Amber which is my twist on the classic Peruvian Pisco Sour. The Spirit in Amber won me a trip to Lima Peru to compete for the national Pisco Sour Champion title.”
“Guests who come to my bar will not only get the freshest and most unique cocktails, but may learn a thing or two about what they are drinking. I provide top notch guest service, creative cocktails, entertainment and love to share my knowledge to anyone who wants to learn about the art of the cocktail”
When in Las Vegas make a stop at FUSION Mixology Bar in the Palazzo Resort and Casino for a cocktail that is made just for you.
