Bartending with Mariantonietta Varamo

Mariantonietta Varamo talks about bartending and some drinking myths.

Mariantonietta Varamo started her journey in the bartending world when she was merely 15 during her school holidays, with an aim to become a bartender. In 2013, she became the first female to tend the bar at Duke’s Hotel. Varamo’s love for the trade drove her to continue learning about the world of spirits, where she found herself collaborating with spirits brands such as Sabatini Gin. She is also the first female to be awarded the Order of Merit 2018 for being an Italian Bar Ambassador abroad.
