In the world behind the bar, there are some questions really make you think. The kind that have you replaying every service, every customer, and every mix made against the clock.
And this time, it’s about looking across the bar and asking yourself the big question: “What has been the most challenging cocktail you’ve ever had to prepare?”

And as expected, the answer does not disappoint.

A service where cocktails were more than just drinks: they were language, liquid culture, and pure show.

👉 Because sometimes the bar becomes a stage.

And that tricky cocktail, the one that tests you… is exactly what reminds you why you love this craft.

Maybe it was that customer who asked for a non-alcoholic tiki reinterpretation but “full of flavour”.
Or that Saturday night when the shaker seemed to have a mind of its own.
Whatever it was, every difficult cocktail has its story. And every story teaches us something.

Face to Face is not just the usual interview.
It’s a meeting point between professionals who admire, respect, and challenge each other with real questions.

And you can definitely feel it.

The next instalment will be just as intense as usual.
So start thinking: what would you ask a leading bartender?
