Bad ass barman/rock n roll moment?

Put up with 40 guys in a bachelor party (with the groom dressed like Obélix) ordering everything that exists and doesn’t exist by the end of the night. And, of course, winning the portuguese finals of Beefeater 24 competition!

Ever done it on a bar?

Nope. If I’m thinking what you’re thinking...

What's next for you?

Finishing my architecture degree and after that, we’ll see ...

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

Best – És um pão! (this is a Portuguese saying that means something like, “you’re such a bread! = You’re hot!). Worst – With this job you probably travel a lot no? Your girlfriend doesn’t like it, does she? Just checking...

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

I would love to be a badass Harley biker.

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

The cocktail would be called ‘Milady’! The recipe is something like this: Muddle 1 slice of pineapple with ½ sprig of fresh rosemary and a 10ml sugar syrup. Add 60 ml of Absolut Vanilla Vodka and 20 ml of coconut syrup. Shake it hard and pour it over ice (using double strain, just in case). Top it with sparkling soda water. Garnish with pineapple triangle/leaf on the edge of a highball glass.

How do you like your Martini?

Stirred with a lemon twist

What did you want to be as a kid?

I’ve always wanted to be an architect!
