WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

A little city in the north of Serbia

WHERE DO YOU/HAVE YOU WORKED?

O.U.R. Bar in Belgrade and now Kontrast in Oslo.

FAVORITE BARS?

Wherever the drinks are good and people are smiling!

FAVOURITE DRINK?

Fernet Branca, as cold as possible

Bad ass barman/rock n roll moment?

Any time the bar gets too busy, I really like the chaos of a busy shift, the crazier the better. Also I get a kick out of everyone at the bar drinking cocktails I made up

Ever done it on a bar?

There are usually more comfortable places around the venue for such affairs

What's next for you?

I want to complete the circle, so to say, get good at all thing related to the bar, be it cocktails, wine, coffee, food, management. Also just enjoy work more, really appreciate every shift and the guests that come to my bar

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

A girl once asked me to make her a cocktail that has something to do with sex and violence. Can't really decide if it was the best or worst one!

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

Happy :) (Stole that one from Lennon, but it really rings true)

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

I can't say for sure until you come to my bar and I talk to you and pick your brain for a few minutes, than I'll tell you...

How do you like your Martini?

Lots of Gin, some vermouth, orange bitters, lemon twist

What did you want to be as a kid?

I dropped out of culinary college, I was supposed to be a chef...
