Gregory Genias, now better known as BootlegGreg, was born in the hills of Cockpit Country Trelawny, Jamaica. His transformation into BootlegGreg began at an early age, where he learned the benefits and uses of plants and herbs for the human body.

Naturally, this led to a prominent career in food & beverages from high-end resorts in Jamaica to bartending for the Super Clubs Chain. In 2005, BootlegGreg moved to Montego Bay`s Hip Strip, where he created his first cocktail menu for the prestigious Nikkita’s bar and restaurant.

Many beverage programs, awards and accolades later – Gregory now co-owns BootlegGreg Cocktail Co.

To this day, he uses the knowledge he gained in the hills of Jamaica as a beacon to guide his creative process at BootlegGreg Cocktails. We only work with the freshest of ingredients and spirits with a transparent background.

Notably, BootlegGreg was a Celebrity Guest Mixologist for Holland America Cruise Line where he did mixology classes for their guest.

You can find some of BootlegGreg’s work on the NBC network, CT Drinks YouTube channel, in the book A Field Guide to Drinking in America by Niki Ganong, and most recently in Cynthia Von Buhler’s immersive play “The Illuminati Ball: an immersive excursion” and “Speakeasy Dollhouse: The Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic".

We, at BootlegGreg Cocktails, want to raise the quality of the drinking experience as we provide escapism – which is why we all drink is it not?
