Favourite “at work” memory | Hiking through the forest on the way to work, picking pine for a cocktail. A family had come in to sit at the bar and I started talking about my passion for drinks and they asked me to make it. I made the drink for them and they ordered 3 more. I was so happy to see hard work final pay off.
