Name the coolest location where you ever mixed a drink.
I have been lucky to work in amazing locations throughout my career, but I never felt so privileged as I do now when I mix drinks in Lennon’s. Being surrounded by so much music, history and creativity is something remarkable.
What is your favourite drink to mix and which drink do you like best?
I generally like stirred drinks, for various reasons — it is easier to control the dilution and more stylish to execute. I’m not a big drinker but sometimes I enjoy dark spirits and a couple of good negronis.
What is more important in your job: being the creative head or a „show star“?
I think that both aspects are important but depending at what point of your career. For me, I’m the creative head. I let the rest of my team shine and be the stars of the show.
