Shochu is a fermented beverage with Japanese origins, but it is also distilled in the United States.  In Japan overall sales of shochu surpass sales of sake—it is safe to say that it is a very popular drink.  

The shochu highball, more popularly known as a chu-hai, is a combination of shochu, fruit juice and soda water.  Bartender Orlando Franklin McCray has developed a formula that Stephen likes, and it is provided below.

Freelance Web & Graphic Designer

Recently I began taking inventory of my life, recognizing the shifts I could make to lessen my personal consumption and impact. Since we spend a quarter of our lives working, that was certainly an area demanding attention. So I left retail and begin my career freelancing for small businesses whose higher purpose transcends profit.

I believe in employing my skills and energy to empower others working to create positive change in our world. I support too-swamped entrepreneurs by breathing life into their brands and websites, allowing them to focus on the important work at hand. At the same time, I get to nurture my own entrepreneurial spirit while being creative and building truly meaningful relationships throughout my community.

I strive to inform, delight and inspire by balancing content with design. I consider the details without losing sight of the big picture. I aim to see around corners while staying focused on the moment. I'm self directed but have over a decade of experience successfully working with teams. And while I've surely got bills to pay, I know it's my social responsibility to be selective about where I put my energy.
