Where They Are Now

Renate Spurlock is the Bar Manager at Kaya in Orlando, and that position is where her present work takes shape. Her specialty in cocktails and zero-proof drinks suggests a bartender’s sensibility with a broad lens, one that can move fluidly between spirited and spirit-free pours without losing elegance or intention. “Between Otto's and Kaya, we have a strong value of family and community.”

In Their Words “Between Otto's and Kaya, we have a strong value of family and community.” The quote captures the emotional architecture behind Spurlock’s work. Family and community are not abstract ideas here; they are the atmosphere she names, the values that seem to anchor the way she approaches service and leadership. Within that frame, cocktails and zero-proof drinks become more than menu items—they are part of a larger, shared experience, shaped by intention and mutual respect.
