\u25fd\ufe0fHow do you manage to stay at the Top in a discipline that requires so much dedication and effort?:<\/p>\n

Actually, there are no secrets, simply sacrifice and the determination to train<\/p>\n

hard, to focus on goals and to adapt to changes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u25fd\ufe0fWhat characteristics would your ideal Flair bottle need to have?:<\/p>\n

It would need a neck to grip, to fit well in the cocktail shaker and to have a good balance of weight!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u25fd\ufe0fWhat is the most difficult bottle you have worked with?:<\/p>\n

In reality, there are lots, but it is always possible to do something, even if it isn\u00b4t much. There are lots of bottles that almost don\u00b4t have a neck and that are square, but the challenge is finding something to do with them.<\/p>\n
