Description
I am a charismatic and deeply knowledgeable Head Mixologist with over four years of experience crafting bespoke cocktail experiences in London's premium hospitality scene. I view the bar not just as a workspace, but as a stage for culinary storytelling. From developing seasonal menus to training junior staff on the science of flavor, I am passionate about elevating the standard of liquid gastronomy and driving bar profitability through meticulous cost control.

Technical Skills & Operational Management:
◦ Menu Development: Creating balanced, innovative drink menus utilizing house-made infusions, clarifications, and zero-waste practices.
◦ Financial Control: Managing pour costs, conducting weekly stocktakes, and negotiating with premium spirit distributors.
◦ Staff Training: Mentoring a team of six bartenders, conducting weekly tasting sessions, and enforcing strict hygiene and service protocols.
I possess my own professional bar kit, a refined palate, and an unflappable demeanor during high-pressure service. I am seeking a leadership position where I can push creative boundaries and deliver an unforgettable guest experience.
