An Additional Acknowledgement
Molly Jarvis didn't make it into the Distilled Knowledge acknowledgements, but she deserves recognition for the wonderful things she's done for the Herzog Cocktail School over the years. Our logo is her handiwork, she's taken some of the most iconic photographs at our events, and she created the very website you're currently browsing! Everybody say, "Thank you, Molly!" (And still does freelance design work - email info@herzogcocktailschool.com if you'd like an introduction!)
