This is a place for lovers of South & Latin American Spirits and cocktails.

That is what I love and that is what I focus on with both my Restaurant & Bar as well as with all of my content, including my YouTube Channel.

So join me on this journey.

I bought a restaurant when I was 25 Years old and in this video I go over three of the most important lessons I've learned from owning and running this restaurant over the last 2 and a half years.

Being a restaurant owner is tough, every single day of your life is a different beast. You never know what you are gonna get. So much happens in the day to day.

It has been one of the most challenging experiences of my life but also one of the most rewarding. Getting to reflect on these lessons and share them with you all really made me very happy.

Please let me know if you enjoyed this video and if youd like to see more videos like this in the future!
