We met up with Ryan to find out a little bit more about his personal choice, words of advice and his passion for creating exquisite drinks!
I left a previous job as an aeronautical engineer and joined the Galgorm Spa + Golf Resort as a part-time bartender in 2016. After learning how to pour a pint I found my passion. I then got promoted to supervisor then manager in Gillies bar within 2 years. This year I moved to the Gin Library as Gin Library Manager and have never looked back.
Getting told by the Uncle of an owner of the Dead Rabbit I made the best old fashioned he has ever had – don’t all test me at once!
BCN. Previously I loved Nordes. This is similar but so different. The grape and apple flavours are like nothing else.
French 75. When I first tried this, I didn’t like gin nor champagne, yet it contains both. Great for cleansing the palate and also very alcoholic.
Bloom served with strawberry and black pepper. Not my favourite gin but I love watching how amazed people are with how the pepper brings out the flavour of the strawberry.
Convincing people to try something new.
There is always someone that knows more than you. Never stop learning.
You are either made for it, or you’re not.
