• Prepare and serve cocktails, wine, beer and non-alcoholic drinks consistently and to a high standard, using sound knowledge of classic cocktails, spirits and core bar techniques.
• Work with the Head Bartender and kitchen to explore seasonal ingredients and flavours that complement the menu. Contribute ideas for small-batch cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks.
• Prepare garnishes, infusions, syrups and other small-batch ingredients to agreed recipes and standards, supporting a seasonal, ingredient-led and low-waste approach.

• Take an active part in tastings and menu changes, respond positively to coaching, support new colleagues and contribute to an inclusive team across ACRE.
