Author Biography

Leandro Pari Di Monriva is the face and voice of The Educated Barfly, one of the most comprehensive cocktail channels on the internet. Beginning in bartending in 2008 while pursuing an acting career, Leandro worked his way up from the entry-level position of barback to bartender at Cole’s French Dip, one of the oldest and most iconic bars in Los Angeles, where he learned to make cocktails and love the profession of bartending. What sets The Educated Barfly apart is that experience: the idea for the channel was to show people how a professional bartender could help them make really great cocktails at home. Each episode revolves around the history of the drink and the techniques of building them.
