Hi, I'm Jules!
Also known as Julianna McIntosh, but now known as Join Jules. I started Join Jules as a Cocktail blog sharing daily cocktail recipes to help inspire home bartenders and bartenders alike. It’s my goal to try to make everyone comfortable with making a cocktail at home.
It all started back in 2020 when some of us were all forced into home bartending. During this time, I spent time (a lot) with my sister, Lucianna, who is a photographer here in San Diego, and of course, we were making drinks together. One day she said, “Why don’t we have fun with it, you’ll make the cocktails and I’ll shoot them”. From there, we started documenting this journey and well… never stopped. But when I first started out and was looking for inspiration, I found that the mixology world was dominated by male bartenders and overly complicated cocktails. So, I wanted to create a new understanding of what cocktails can and should be. Highlighting the importance of fresh flavors and showcasing delicious and accessible recipes for the at-home bartender. With an emphasis on seasonal ingredients and embracing both the importance and simplicity of the visual appeal of cocktails, I invite any and all to come together and help break the barrier between high-brow mixology and at-home craft cocktails.
As the Join Jules brands grows I am stepping into more cocktail recipes, of course, but all beverage recipes, more lifestyle tips and tricks, home entertaining, and travel. Let’s grow together.
Come thirsty, leave happy!
