Meet the Founder –
Molly Porfidio
Hi, I’m Molly Porfidio, the founder of The Cocktail Collective. My journey began in the classroom as a High School English Teacher while pursuing my master’s degree in Higher Education. At my core, I’ve always been passionate about helping others and embracing lifelong learning.
My love for mixology started unexpectedly during my master’s program when I took a part-time bartending job. What began as a side gig quickly became a passion. Behind the bar, I found joy in crafting unique cocktails, meeting incredible people, and hearing their stories. This experience ignited the vision for The Cocktail Collective—a place where creativity, community, and craft cocktails come together.
Through The Cocktail Collective, my goal is to share my knowledge, inspire creativity, and bring people together—one cocktail at a time.
