Bartenders
I'm currently Bar Manager at Guy Cowan's quietly famous Guy's Restaurant & Bar, the open heart of the Merchant City's cocktail scene. As far as the past goes, you could say I've been slinging drinks all across my city & beyond since a simpler time... from deepest darkest Ayrshire to the Costa del Sol.
The Hemingway Bar in the Paris Ritz is where I truly fell in love with high cocktail culture. I also love Tales & Spirits in Amsterdam.
A pint of Guinness, with a wee malt whisky grumbling away by its side.
My 20s were one big tissue of loosely connected rock'n'roll moments. I'm semi-retired now, on the advice of, well... everyone. Pipe & slippers time, I'm afraid.
Sadly, no. A skip, yes.
Just keeping on mixing & falling & dreaming over all the bus stops & drunken underpasses, getting closer.
Best: 'Want yir hole?' Worst: 'What's your favourite piece of cutlery?'
No. You're getting nothing from me. I'd have to kill you.
My signature drink is the Dirty Prince Charlie - Auchentoshan Classic, Drambuie, pressed apple, fresh cherries, ginger & vanilla bitters.
Dry as a bone.
