Emanuele Mensah is a bar manager, photographer and video maker based in Milan, Italy. He worked for few of the best cocktail bars in the world and entered the list of the first 100 best bartenders in Uk. In 2020 he opened a Youtube channel to show how to make great classic cocktails at home, teaching not only the basics but also more complicated techniques. He has an Instagram account where he posts pictures of classics cocktail and his own creations. He is very fond of sustainability, that’s why he applies 0 waste to his ideas and concepts. Everything has a purpose and needs to be used. He reckons that we need to give cocktails a new connotations starting from the past. This means going back to the real purpose of the spirits when they were meant to be a medicine. Drinking should be a moment of pleasure and sharing.

My background & experience

I have worked in hospitality for many years. I like to pass on my knowledge and passion. My cocktails' recipes are suitable for any time of the day, from hangover drink to night cup. My teaching style will give you the opportunity to learn and understand the reason a drink is made in a certain way. I do masterclass for cocktails and spirits (such as whiskey, mezcal tequila, gin, vodka and all liquors and derivatives). You can also make a request on the topic that interests you the most. I do courses for both groups and individuals. If you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact me. If you want to see some of my work, I have a YouTube channel @cocktailswithlele where you can watch my work style. On instagram @cocktailswithlele you can see the final results and experiments I do every day.

My classes and teaching style

I have done masterclasses for many years and I find them very useful and fun, especially for those who like to try different tastes and give a personal touch to their drinks. During the masterclasses, I like to give space to those who want to create their own cocktails, helping them to learn the best techniques.
