Meet The Proofessor

When called a ‘mixologist’, the Proofessor will smile and say, “No, I prefer the term ‘intoxicologist’.” So, what is intoxicology, according to him? Intoxicology is the art of social alchemy. The art of skilfully creating bespoke beverages that, through their consumption, facilitate social intercourse. A gentle loosening of the constraints that we carry around every day, allowing us to smile a little, laugh a lot, and enjoy the company of those around us. Magic for the soul.
*
The Proofessor has made – and tasted – some of the nastiest cocktails imaginable so you don’t have to. Because that’s one of the chief building blocks of a skilled chef or bartender: willingness to screw up. To be able to say, “Oh, hell naw!”, dump it down the drain and start from scratch. After years of trial and error he has reached a place where he can work a bit of magic with even the most basic of ingredients. Every week the ‘office’ is in a different location, sometimes creating personalised cocktails for weddings, others doing a spin on a classic for a birthday, or perhaps teaching a bachelorette party the ins-and-outs of home cocktail making. Cocktails should be fun, both to make and to drink. And, with a little bit of knowledge, the Proofessor can teach you how to effortlessly spin that social alchemy right from the comfort of your home bar.

The Proofessor leads THIS MONTH's Cocktail Class at Nickel 9, on June 19th.
