Duck, NC – Jeanne Filigree could have gone to law school like her parents wanted, but she decided to take a bartending class instead. She credits that with her being able land a job at a prestigious tourist restaurant. She highly doubts her age and looks had anything to do with it. “Once they saw I had my bartending certificate, they knew I would be great at this job,” She said as she cut her ninetieth lime of the day. In school she learned how to make hundreds of cocktails like a Tom Collins, Old Fashion, Manhattan, and Mojitos, which prepared her for pouring pitchers of premixed Margaritas and Sangria. She learned dozens of different glasses and when to use them, so she feels confident when she is dumping frozen strawberry daiquiris into plastic souvenirs cups.
