Send us a text

What happens when one of New York’s top bartenders goes sober—and gets even better at his craft?
In this episode of Feel Lit Alcohol Free, Ruby and Susan sit down with award-winning bartender Chris Cardone, who’s flipping the script on what it means to thrive behind the bar—without drinking a drop. From winning the Diageo World Class US Bartender of the Year after going sober, to facing stigma in an industry where alcohol is king, Chris shares the raw truth about sobriety, success, and staying fully present in high-pressure spaces.

We dive into:

• What it’s really like to be a sober bartender
• How Chris is leading a movement to make bars more inclusive for alcohol-free guests
• Why your sobriety can actually elevate your creativity and connection (yes, even in the hospitality world!)

If you’ve ever wondered how to navigate social settings without alcohol, or you’re curious about how the drinking culture is evolving, this one’s a must-listen. Hit play and find out how living alcohol-free is no longer the exception—it’s the upgrade.
