Samoy Gardner (SG) â?? Bartender-in-training. Possesses a keen eye for detail and is quite talented in garnish creations. Gardner is one to watch for 2019 as, not only is he creative, but he also has a charismatic personality that can engage any audience.



Thursday Food (TF): What do you like about Courvoisier?

SG: I love that it’s smooth and versatile.

TF: How would you describe your bartending style?

SG: I love mixology, but my area of specialisation is in garnish creation and presentation. I like to create unique pieces sometimes with a twist, but very attractive and not-so-traditional.

SG: To be a leading mixologist in Jamaica and the Caribbean, known for outstanding creations.
