Those who love cocktails and mocktails in Indonesia might be familiar with someone named Kenny. The story began when he needed more pocket money when he was in Australia. There, Kenny Soetomo started his part-time work in a bar as a bartender and was really into it.

A fifteen-year experience bartender

From the side job he had, Kenny decided to step up as a professional bartender. It’s been 15 years since he took a role in his job in serving cocktails and mocktails.

After he got back from Australia, he joined Potato Head Family as Group Bar Trainer Manager. His main job was to develop the menu from the bar plus trained new bartenders by sharing his experiences and knowledge he’s got.

Several achievements during the journey

Kenny’s achievement as DaVinci Gourmet Syrups ambassador made him get the spotlight. He several times represented DaVinci Gourmet Syrups as a bartender for the guests in many special events and got a lot of invitations from many bars.

Never really satisfied with his skills, Kenny then tried to upgrade them by joining many competitions and competing with other professional bartenders. Two of his most spectacular achievements are the ones in the 2014 Australian National Suntory Cocktail Connoisseur and took the second place in the 2016 World-Class Indonesia Cocktail Competition.

Mix and launch his signature drinks

Having a lot of experiences made Kenny proudly launch her own signature drinks labelled Bootlegger Indonesia. Kenny has Bootlegger Indonesia packed and can be ordered via a salesperson or e-commerce.

Following the trend, Bootlegger Indonesia launched drinks inspired by a Korean Drama, Itaewon Class. Dan Bam and Jangga, that’s what they call them. K-Drama lovers must be familiar with these two names.
