Most of the people I interview have been doing their jobs as brand ambassadors for a long, long time - having begun their career as bartenders or in house at a drinks brand. Few have come to it through a special program designed to appeal to graduates from all backgrounds. I thought that hearing that journey would make a change.

Our guest today, Scott Lever was one of those lucky grads. Only a year ago, he embarked on the Chivas International Graduate Programme and is here to tell us all about it.

Our cocktail of the week is the Chivas Extra Old Fashioned.

Ingredients

• 50ml Chivas Regal Extra
• 12.5ml Nut and Raisin Syrup
• 15ml Pedro Jimenez Sherry
• 2 dashes of Nut Bitters
• Orange Twist Garnish

Add all ingredients to a mixing glass, add ice and stir down. Serve on the rocks, garnish with Orange Twist.

You’ll find this recipe and all the cocktails of the week on ALushLifeManual.com, where you’ll also find all the ingredients in our shop.

Always remember the wise words of Oscar Wilde, “All things in moderation, including moderation,” and always drink responsibly!
