What do you love most about your job?

“I get a great sense of enjoyment from meeting people from all walks of life, and, by serving them, cocktails in a social environment is a privilege that allows me to converse and relate to my clients and their guests in an easy-going way. Please excuse the puns but mixing with people while serving cocktails is an ice-breaker that makes for great communicating”.

What inspired you to start your own business?

“The inspiration behind starting my business was that it gives me ample opportunity to meet and converse with people in a relaxed, social environment and to experience the happiness shared by people enjoying themselves. I like to think that in a small way, my contribution towards the proceedings can play a major part in the success of an occasion. Mixing and serving cocktails, although it is my profession, is more akin to being a hobby, whereupon there is less stress involved than in many other forms of business”.

Why should our clients choose you?

“First and foremost, I believe that because my team and I are completely dedicated to the art of producing exceptional cocktails, we bring a certain esprit de corps to any occasion. Every member of my team is hand-picked to fit seamlessly into any social or corporate occasion, yet, without being obtrusive. Our mixologists are selected for a variety of reasons; their professionalism, experience, knowledge of mixing and serving cocktails, an easy-going personality, communication skills, attention to detail and reliability. The ethos of my business has always been to place customers first, and, in so doing, to offer them a unique and personal cocktail experience that they will enjoy and remember for all the right reasons”.
