I used to throw away kilos of citrus every week.
Now Plett's bars don't.

From Dry Hire Bartending to Designing Drinking Experiences

For over a decade, I've worked bars in Cape Town, Johannesburg, and now Plettenberg Bay. I've seen both sides of the industry — venues built to get guests drinking more, and venues built to get them drinking better. I always preferred the second kind.

One private function changed the direction of everything. A guest at an event I was working approached me afterward and asked if I'd run the bar at a private function of theirs. I said yes immediately — there's nothing I enjoy more than watching someone genuinely taste, judge, and enjoy a well-balanced cocktail. At that event, I gave the host three cocktails to choose from, each tied to a different spirit tier, plus one drink designed and named specifically for them.

That night was the moment Liquid Content stopped being just a dry-hire bartending service. It became about something bigger: creating better drinking experiences — full sensory moments, not just drinks. In 2025, that thinking led to Signature Garnish: a way to bring that same care, consistency, and presentation to bars and restaurants who want every cocktail to feel designed, not just served.
