From the very beginning de Las Muelas has been a restless soul. Ever since founding his first venture at the renowned Gimlet in the Born, the creation / recreation of signature cocktails and classic cocktails has been a way of life. However ensuring an excellent service has been just as important to his vision. After all that’s one of the reasons why people go for cocktails to begin with.

The cocktails are designed for daytime drinking, an after-meal or after-work encounter with friends, according to the brand’s market research, before the pandemic spirits were being consumed mostly during daytime hours. Before 2020 daytime consumption accounted for eight out of ten orders, especially in the afterwork, after-meal and aperitif.
