Let’s Meet The Bartender!

“My full name is Uttkarsh Anthwal and I am from India. I joined bartending after watching a wonderful Indian flair bartender, I was in an event where I saw him and he was flipping bottles with fluids inside of them and entertaining everyone I decided I want to learn that.”

“After that, I did a bartending course and learned a little bit of flair moves and got into the industry and now do bartending as a full-time job. While at my job it was very hard to practice flair so according to time I left flair and got more into cocktail recipes and mixology it’s been just half a year for me in this industry.”

“Now I m working with an organization that believes in mixology and the knowledge of the bartender so I am working and learning with them and I try to practice in my free time cause I really like to flair.” – Uttkarsh Anthwal

What was the inspiration behind French 57?

“I was reading about cocktails one day and went through the French 75, I tried to make a twist on the original. I made rosemary cordial to give it a sweet-sour and aromatic texture and taste which replaced lime and sweet and added a bit of orange liqueur for giving it a zesty touch. And it was not so bad 🙂 at least it was drinkable!”
