Why did you choose to be a cocktail barman ?

It began as a hobby and, by chance, I could begin to work in the food sector.

How was your beginning in this world? Do you remember your first cocktail ?

I have always know it, I wanted to meet expert people in the industry. Being honest, I don’t remember my first cocktail.

An advice to prepare the best #SpanishGinTonic where do you think the key is?

In Spain we are lucky due to fantastic citrics and a good size of ice cubes we have, that is really important if you want to prepare a good gintonic.

What’s the ingredient that should always be in a cocktail bar?

Rives Classic!

Have you got any favourite tool? We mean, an instrument that you always carry with you…

My opener.

Any advice to a new barman?

Humility, modesty.
