Hello, I'm Ilona.
Joyful, hard-working bartender from Finland with a passion for creating tasty cocktails
I’ve always wanted to expand my horizons and work outside Finland and see the world. Working in a high-speed Nightclub Jackalope in Finland, taught me how to make the customers experience great even in a hurry. Bartending has really opened a new world to me, I’ve met some of my best friends through the industry and also learned new skills and methods by watching and talking to other bartenders. Creativity runs through my veins, mostly when the subject is music, but it can also be applied to creating and coming up with amazing flavor combinations.
