One for All
• MexicoBartender Edgar Pacheco is leading the charge in raising awareness of the mental health of the cruise ship bartender community, through initiatives that foster bonds between the bartenders and improve their life at sea, using his Ketel One ‘One for All’ cocktail.
- "Life at sea is amazing, enjoy the fresh air and wake up every day in a different country is priceless experience that will mark us forever, but living at sea is not as easy as it sounds, from being away from family for long periods of time, to the cultural clash of living with over 60 different nationalities , bartenders and crew in general not always have an easy time adapting themselves. Using ketel one and the cocktail culture as a tool, i want to bring awareness and support to the mental health of my community onboard, from support groups
- to book clubs and video calls with experts, we are aiming to help our community to be in a better place in life, bring a smile and build stronger ties between us as a family. Our aim is to take our project not only to all our fleet but to other cruise lines as well, by collaborating with fellow bartenders around the sea we are able to use ketel one as a tool to communicate our goals and actions, for this, we decided to garnish the cocktail with good and add an edible QR code, by scanning it you will
- know what we do, how we do it and how you can help. Mental wellness plays an important role onboard and with “garnish with good” we are aiming to keep our community healthy and happy."
Taste it for yourself.
