Biography

I’m Elia, a passionate mixologist with over 6 years of experience crafting innovative cocktails and delivering luxury hospitality experiences. From classic recipes to bespoke creations, I combine deep technical knowledge with creativity to design drinks that tell a story. Skilled in menu development, flavor pairing, and high-end guest service, my focus is on creating unforgettable moments, one cocktail at a time.

My career began in the fast-paced world of hospitality, where I quickly developed a reputation for precision, efficiency, and exceptional guest care. Over the years, I have honed my craft behind the bars of renowned venues, including my current role as Bar Supervisor at Aster Bar in Sydney—a globally recognized destination awarded as one of the few Pinned Bars in the world by The Pinnacle Guide.

With a deep understanding of spirits, liqueurs, and modern mixology techniques, I specialize in curating seasonal cocktail menus, pairing flavors with culinary offerings, and delivering immersive beverage experiences that elevate any occasion. My approach blends the artistry of drink creation with the science of balance, ensuring every cocktail not only delights the palate but leaves a lasting memory.

Beyond the bar, I thrive in leadership and consultancy roles—training teams, optimizing workflows, and guiding venues to enhance their beverage programs. Whether it’s a private event, luxury hotel service, or high-volume bar environment, I bring professionalism, adaptability, and a guest-first mindset to every shift.

For me, mixology is more than serving drinks—it’s about crafting experiences that connect people, spark conversation, and celebrate the moment.
