Billie Keithley

If it’s edible, Billie Keithley says she can create a cocktail out of it! The Liquid Chef of Breckenridge Distillery is constantly challenging herself to push the envelope with her cocktail creations. Billie received the Icons of Whisky award America 2021 bar manager of the year. Keithley moved to Colorado barely 21. After stints of lift op and ski tech, Billie plunged into the service industry and hasn’t looked back. Her attitude and approach to bartending changed, she said after attending a seminar in Vail, hosted by Francesco Lafranconi. ” I was humbled as to how much I didn’t know, but at the same time so inspired that I knew at that very moment that I wanted to absorb and share every morsel of knowledge of this amazing craft and put smiles on faces with every sip.” “My passion is to create cocktails and spread smiles! It’s the best job in the universe!”
