Meet Tiago Amaral of Deviation Distilling

We stepped behind the bar at Deviation Distilling located in The Alley to chat with Tiago Amaral, head mixologist, about all things Summer on The Block. Tiago brings his passion for cocktails and the Dairy Block community to every drink he creates.

Q: For someone who hasn’t visited Deviation Distilling yet, what’s the one experience or product you recommend they try first?

A: Our Spanish-Style Gin & Tonic! We put a lot of thought and care into crafting the perfect balance of flavors, and I think you’ll be impressed. In fact, it was even featured in Forbes!

Q: What’s the most rewarding part of working in Dairy Block?

A: The energy around The Block is the best part. Seeing people’s faces light up when they discover it for the first time makes every day rewarding.

Q: What’s your favorite Dairy Block event, and why do you think it resonates with your customers?

A: Live music during Alley Soundscapes is the best! It draws a crowd and creates a positive atmosphere – perfect for enjoying a cocktail.
