10 years ago I was working at a five-star hotel as a waiter before I was sent to one of the new bars then that was serving sheesha. I developed my interest for blending flavors and even came up with a sheesha cocktail menu. The bartender who was making cocktails from the cocktail bar then was always absent hence forcing me to make the cocktails for guests whenever he was absent, this forced me to learn the recipes and make the cocktails. Because of my interest for playing around with flavors it wasn't hard for me to adopt and understand the different cocktail recipes. A few years later sheesha was banned in my country (Kenya) and it was such an easy decision for me to make to join the bar. I have never looked back ever since!
