Too much vodka to remember…

What's next for you?

Looking forward to the upcoming Woroniecki’s vodka project – it’s top secret now but I’ll keep you updated!

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

Well, apart from shaking cocktails for past 15 years I’m the man behind Baltic’s house-infused vodkas, including flavours such as Cherry, Pear, Caramel and my favourite - Horseradish.

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

I would definitely go for my Schweppes wining creation – Chilli Sunrise: Baltic’s house-infused Chilli Vodka and Grapefruit Vodka shaken with freshly squeezed lemon juice, dash of sugar and egg white, topped up with Schweppes Sparkling Grapefruit and Blood Orange Juice Drink

How do you like your Martini?

Very dry lemon twist
