Favourite Classic Cocktail | Old Fashioned. If it was good enough for a 19th-century gentleman to start his morning with, it’s certainly good enough for me to end my evening.
First Classic Cocktail you ever had | Margarita – and it made me dance.
Favourite Part of the Job | I am a proud curator of the vibe. You see – first dates, business deals, and long-lost friends reuniting. For those 30 seconds of interaction, I am just not a service worker; I’m a confident person who is a storyteller and a local authority.
Favourite After Work Drink | Probably a fine Single Malt neat or On The Rocks
Favourite bar in the world | The Golden Tiki (Las Vegas)
Best known for | The Liquid Alchemist & Unofficial Therapist. My communication and connection with my clients add up the best memories made on the Bar.
Favourite “at work” memory | You come for the craft, but you stay for the characters. My favorite memory isn’t a drink I made; it’s the time the whole bar went silent to hear the end of a regular’s 20-minute story, then erupted in a toast.
What’s the most popular cocktail in your city? Euphoria – An amazing mix of Bourbon, Aperol and Passionfruit perfect for the vibe
Favourite thing about your city | Dubai isn’t just about Burj Khalifa and the Sands, the best part is the unparalleled luxury, worldwide culture and tradition, rapid modernization and diverse experiences – ranging from vibrant beaches and dessert safaris to the innovative Museum Of The Future.
What was the last photo that you took? The sunset in the dessert, which felt like a perfect golden hour.
Where is one place that you have never been but would like to travel to? I have never never been to France so I want to travel and taste some fine wines . I want to specially visit Monaco on the coast and experience the lifestyle.
