Behind the Bar: The People Brewing Magic at Don Collins

Meet the passionate team mixing coffee, rum, and Puerto Rican pride into every cocktail at Don Collins.

Walk into Don Collins Coffee Cocktails on any given evening, and you’ll find more than just a drink—you’ll find a story. That story begins behind the bar, where a tight-knit team of creatives, dreamers, and flavor fanatics pour their soul into every glass.

Unlike typical bartenders, the staff here double as coffee connoisseurs and spirit specialists. They’ll pull the perfect espresso shot and shake it into a drink that’s both nostalgic and entirely new. Some grew up in the mountains near coffee farms, others came from award-winning kitchens. All of them share one mission: to serve Puerto Rico with authenticity and flair.

At Don Collins, the drinks change with the seasons, the mood, and the music—but the energy behind the bar never fades. It's equal parts skill, storytelling, and hospitality.
