Let’s Meet The Bartender!

“It’s me Shishir Gurung all the way from Nepal. I am currently working in Plam Jumeriah, Dubai. I took a mixology course from a cocktail workshop, in Nepal. I have been involved in this field for around 5 years. I will like to thank my brothers Biznu Saru, Bishnu Gauchan, Bishesh Gurung for supporting and encouraging me. I love to make and create new drinks. I do some flairing also but I always focus on mixology. I love my job. My favorite drink is Negroni.” – Shishir Gurung

What was the inspiration behind your Smokey Herbal Pop Cider Cocktail?

“So my inspiration for this drink is that I am always looking to create something amazing that tastes good and looks good. So you message me about your article and after that, I think let’s make a Bubbly Cocktail with herbal flavour with a twist of smoke. Then I created this Smokey Herbal Pop Cider. There is no more story about this cocktail.

Just I love to learn new things from different bartenders. I am always positive in my career. Thank you Oliver Walkey for your support. Because of you, today this Smokey Herbal Pop Cider is created. Cheers! “ – Shishir Gurung
