Approach

“I aim to make drinks fun and accessible by working in a sustainable and nerdy way. This includes breaking down industry terms to the general level and adding a playful touch to my presentations and menus.”

Career Highlights

Five quick questions

Favorite Kahlúa cocktail? Colorado Bulldog.

Tastiest garnish used in an Espresso Martini? Tajin powder. It gives a citrusy twist while the heat from the chili elevates the coffee. Don’t knock it until you try it.

Best part about being a bartender? Definitely the variety of people you meet. You never know who’s going to walk through the door.

Industry events you enjoy? Guide de Michelin, Bartender’s Choice Awards, Norse Bar Show, Top 50 Best Bars & Restaurants, Tales of the Cocktail.

Your go-to drink after work? The one I created just for that occasion, it’s called Robin’s super-specialfragialistic-and-somewhat-dry martini.

Stefan Gregory

Copywriter & Cocktail Researcher

Stefan is a seasoned copywriter and cocktail enthusiast with over 20 years in the game. He loves writing, researching, and sharing drink recipes and tips that make home-cocktail making a breeze.

Approach

“Many cocktails have quite legendary tales behind them. For instance, the Espresso Martini was famously born in London out of a customer’s request for a drink that would ‘wake me up, and then **** me up.” However, many other cocktails have interesting histories that are not shared enough. I find that understanding the purpose of why these cocktails were invented is key to exploring interesting new ways to reinvent them.”

Background

Apart from his years of writing for many global companies, Stefan has spent the last decade writing about cocktails for brands like Kahlúa, Malibu and Absolut Vodka, as well as the Bartender’s Choice Awards. He’s published hundreds of cocktail recipes, drink histories, and insights about the bar industry. He’s also worked extensively with digital and social media campaigns, making him somewhat of an expert when it comes to providing readers with quality information that’s easy to understand.

Five quick questions

Favourite Kahlúa cocktail? White Russian – It’s easy to make and easier to enjoy.

What’s an interesting Kahlúa fact you’ve found? It takes 7 years to make a single drop of Kahlúa, from seed to bottle. Read about it here.

Favourite Espresso Martini variation? Definitely the Chocolate Espresso Martini. It has two of the best tastes in one delicious cocktail.

Unusual way you enjoy Kahlúa? I often use it in cooking and baking treats. So you can literally have your cake and drink it too.

Best thing about researching cocktails? It’s fascinating how one ingredient like Kahlúa can be used in an almost infinite number of different cocktail recipes.
