Ever had a bad-ass/rock n roll bartending moment?

During the Miracle Pop up Bar this December at the Henrietta Hotel, we served between 350-450 drinks a night in a very Christmas-y spirit! Was rock’n’roll to see all the team working together to achieved it. It was crazy!

Where will be find you on your nights off?

You’ll find me trying the new cocktail bars in London and relaxing on those that already a statement to this industry.

I never thought about it as I always wanted to be a barman. Since I was a teenager I worked hard to be in this industry that I’m so passionate about.
