“I have two jobs. I work at Ataula as a bar manager. I provide an exceptional guest experience utilizing the best that Spain has to offer. I also work for Angels Envy. They do a Port finished Bourbon. I've been with them for six years. I have helped build what was once a small urban brand to international recognition.”

Twists on an Old-Fashioned
"The Old-Fashioned is always going to be a whiskey cocktail but it can be a lot more. I do a Mezcal Old-Fashioned.... What is good with Mezcal? Agave! ... and then I put a little salt in it. And then I add these Mole bitters instead of like regular Angostura and then I add a little orange bitters to to pick it up on the acid side and then I do a flamed orange peel.
You can also buy smaller bottles of Amaros or Benedictine that we call modifiers. So you can just add a bar spoon of that and a bar spoon of whatever sugary you choose. I like Amaro Nonino that really changes the flavors. With just bar spoon it really influences the cocktail. Benedictines is a great one. You could add Dry Curaçao to do like a bourbon Old-Fashioned and then just add a bar spoon of that and a bar spoon of the sugar, a little bit of orange bitters and you've got a whole new taste profile."
