Today we’d like to introduce you to Jerbree (Bree) Jackson.
Hi Jerbree (Bree), so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I started bartending casually at college parties, making drinks for friends and realizing how much I loved creating cocktails and being part of the vibe. What started as fun quickly turned into a passion, and I saw the opportunity to turn that passion into a business.
I launched Blended by Bree to bring professional yet fun bartending and mixology experiences to people in the DMV area. From private parties and weddings to sip & paints and mixology classes, I’ve built a brand that focuses on not just making drinks, but creating memories. Along the way, I’ve grown from a side hustle into a business with consistent bookings, collaborations, and even digital products like my bartending eBook.
Today, Blended by Bree represents more than bartending it’s about empowering people, connecting communities, and proving that with consistency and vision, you can build something from the ground up.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road definitely hasn’t been smooth. Starting Blended by Bree meant long nights, early mornings, and constant sacrifices. One of the biggest challenges has been funding covering inventory, travel, and event costs while still trying to grow my brand. There were also times when bookings were slow, and I questioned if I was really on the right path.
Another obstacle has been learning the business side on my own everything from pricing, contracts, and marketing to managing client expectations. It’s easy to make drinks, but it’s much harder to build a business that’s consistent and professional.
Even with those struggles, each challenge taught me resilience, forced me to get more creative, and pushed me to level up. Those setbacks ended up being the lessons that helped me grow the most.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?

I want people to know that when they book with Blended by Bree, they’re not just hiring a bartender they’re investing in someone who is passionate about delivering vibes, connections, and unforgettable moments.
Do you any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
One of my favorite childhood memories is being surrounded by family during the holidays. We’d all gather together, cook, laugh, and just enjoy each other’s company. I remember the feeling of joy, love, and togetherness in those moments it didn’t matter what was going on outside, everything felt right when we were all under one roof. Those memories taught me early on how important it is to create spaces filled with love, laughter, and connection something I still carry into my life and business today.
