WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

Camden Town, London

WHERE DO YOU/HAVE YOU WORKED?

I was at Steam & Rye, and then I set up The Cocktail Trading Co.

FAVORITE BARS?

The London Cocktail Club (for a party), Happiness Forgets (because it’s simply amazing), Cafe Pacifico (because the beer is always ice cold) and of course The Cocktail Trading Co.

FAVOURITE DRINK?

Long Island Ice Tea. All the major food groups in one place.

Bad ass barman/rock n roll moment?

The time we ended up having a naked party. One minute we were bar tending, the next minute everyone is in their birthday suits - and I do mean everyone. The CCTV footage must have been epic!

Ever done it on a bar?

Do fish live in water?

What's next for you?

I hope one day in the not so distant future, to open my own bar and consultancy company.

Best/worst chat up lines you've heard at a bar?

Best: "I only have a week to live, so what do you say?". Worst: "I have 20 grand in the bank"

Tell us a secret or something we don't know?

Topping up a Tommies Margarita with Red Bull actually tastes really good.

If you were to make a barchick cocktail, what would you put in it?

It would have to be a sharing cocktail: Cariel Vanilla Vodka Funkin’ passion fruit puree Vanilla sugar Champagne Served in a really big glass and called "2 Girls, 1 Cup"

How do you like your Martini?

Very wet, with a twist and Gin.

What did you want to be as a kid?

A Chef, then I saw Cocktail and realised that was a much better option!
