Meet Nick Beaudry, a drink slinger at Milwaukee Street's Zim's Bar.

OnMilwaukee.com: What's your favorite thing about working as a bartender in Milwaukee?

Nick Beaudry: The people are very nice. There are people out every night of the week.

OMC: Do you think that's different from other cities?

NB: From my experience. I've done a lot of traveling and even in Las Vegas you don't see people out on a Monday as much.

OMC: If you could bartend at an establishment other than Zim's, where would it be?

NB: I'd probably want to bartend in Vegas. Maybe at the Bellagio.

OMC: If you could serve a drink to anyone, who would it be and what would you serve?

NB: Frank Sinatra. I'd probably make him a dry gin martini.

OMC: Is that your specialty?

NB: I make a pretty good martini. I'm pretty good at making sangria, though. I'd say that's my specialty.

OMC: Which artists would you put on your jukebox?

NB: Journey -- every bar has got to play Journey. Probably some Justin Timberlake in there for the girls at night.

OMC: In the competition you're going to be making a cocktail with one of the four sponsor brands. Which one did you pick and how do you typically serve it?

NB: I like to mix Maker's Mark with ginger ale.
