WHERE DO YOU/HAVE YOU WORKED?

I moved to Toronto from Vancouver and I am currently working at Pretty Ugly Bar. I was at Harbord Room.

FAVORITE BARS?

I like bars with good cocktails that are still relaxed and not too pretentious – like Employees Only or Attaboy in NYC. It actually depends on my mood.  

FAVOURITE DRINK?

Depends on when in the day but I love a Gin Martini  

Bad ass barman/rock n roll moment?

When I beat a lot of gentlemen in cocktail competitions! But mostly it is having a customer saying “this is the best drink I ever had”

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

When people talk about bowel movements.  

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

I secretly love Piña Coladas.  

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

My favourite has only three ingredients or four: equal parts gin and sherry cream and honey with nutmeg on top. 

How do you like your Martini?

I like it strong; two parts gin, one vermouth, orange bitters and an orange twist.

What did you want to be as a kid?

A mermaid!
