Nischal serves up bartending options

GANGTOK, 19 May: Nischal Gurung with 15 years of experience in the hospitality trade is in town to promote his recently founded company ‘Mixologik’, a school which offers Bartenders Training. The company has three main divisions, freelance bartending, consultancy & training and bar school.
“When a bartender makes a mistake, a new cocktail is made,” shared Nischal, while interacting with media persons in Hotel Norkhil, today. “Bartending is all about creativity, you can showcase your creativity by mixing various concoctions and thereby ensuring that your guests keep coming back and ask for more,” he added.

The art of drinking is ‘responsible drinking’ and ‘ethical drinking’, while tasting is all about thinking with your mind, he comments, adding, “The main aim of a bartender should be to understand the customer, his needs and his drink, communicate with the client thereby making the other person happy. This trait is already inborn in the people of the hills, where hospitality and alcohol are found in each and every home, he pointed out.
Nischal started Mixologik in March earlier this year and has at present 10 students enrolled in the school learning bartending. The school is located in Malviya Nagar, New Delhi and offers a 3-month course, three days a week for a course fee of Rs. 25,000.
