Kava Mixologist (Bartender · Barista · Wellness Guide) The Leaf

Description

About Us
The Leaf Cafe is a plant-powered wellness space blending herbal remedies, hemp-based products, and functional beverages to support holistic health. As McKinney’s first alcohol-free nightlife destination, we’re redefining social wellness—one kava mocktail at a time.

About the Role
We’re looking for a Kava Mixologist to join our growing team as we expand into alcohol-free social nightlife. This role combines the creativity of a bartender, the warmth of a barista, and the heart of a wellness educator.

As a Kava Mixologist, you’ll be behind the bar crafting herbal and hemp-infused beverages—including our signature kava mocktails—and helping guests feel at home in a space that celebrates connection, calm, and community.

You’ll often take the lead during weekend and evening shifts, making this an ideal opportunity for someone confident working independently, passionate about alternative wellness, and ready to co-create something new in McKinney.

Experience is great—but if you’re a fast learner with a passion for plants, we’ll train you in the art of herbal mixology.
