Yiannis Korovesis has built his career in gastronomy and hospitality over the past twenty years. Starting behind the bar, he helped shape the first major wave of Greece’s cocktail movement. Today, he consults for restaurants, bars, and hospitality ventures. He is the founder and editor-in-chief of Bitterbooze.com, Greece’s longest-running website dedicated to bars and drinks, as well as an instructor at Le Monde Institute of Hotel & Tourism Studies. He holds certifications as a Cognac Educator (BNIC), a Sherry Educator (CRJ) and a Water Sommelier (Fine Waters Academy). He adores Sicilian olives alongside a fifty-fifty Martini, pasta with anchovies and bottarga, and the padded bar rail, wherever he finds one.
