My Way

As a passionate cocktail enthusiast gearing up to open a bar in Antwerp, I've been immersed in online bartender lessons, honing my skills by experimenting with recipes at home. I believe that rigid recipes and fixed preparation methods limit the potential of a dish or drink. Instead, customization based on personal taste, appetite, and expectations is key. The recipes on this page reflect my own palate, influenced by experiences in various Antwerp bars, YouTube tutorials, and Steven Steven's 'Cocktails Book,' with my personal twists.

I strive for cocktails that are not only tasty and refreshing but also boast a unique aroma, providing a delightful experience. While I appreciate the allure of fruit juices, I prefer my cocktails to carry a subtle bitterness, achieved by incorporating slightly higher alcohol content than standard recipes.

The quality of ingredients is paramount to the cocktail's excellence. I exclusively use specific brands of drinks and syrups, ensuring the freshness of the fruits. Timing plays a crucial role; hasty and rushed cocktail preparations compromise quality. I prioritize a meticulous approach, valuing quality over quantity or speedy service. However, I recognize the importance of prompt service to cater to the desire without unnecessary delays.
