Kosh, originally a media designer, discovered his passion for bar keeping after years working in breakfast restaurants. After moving to Kampen, he created more and more signature drinks, such as London Yuzu Basil Smash.
In the search of an aperitif, to pair perfectly with meat or fish, he was inspired by the British love of Earl Grey, which he integrated into the cocktail through bergamot and lemon, feeling that it would enhance the botanicals found in The London Nº1.
