Cheryl Charming (born November 19, 1960) is an American bar professional and published author of 16 books on cocktails and bartending.

This gave her the experience to obtain a food waitress position at John Barleycorn's Vision, a restaurant & bar in Little Rock with many themed rooms.

A cocktail server called in sick one night and she was asked to cover the position – her bar career began.

Cheryl found herself serving minor celebrities such as President Bill Clinton's brother and Gennifer Flowers.

[7] tending bar for five years aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, Charming began working at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, in 1989.

While working on a book project, Cheryl needed to know when the first Cosmopolitan was mentioned on the television series, Sex and the City.
