EPISODE #41 Erik Andersson
Erik Andersson is on his seventh year as the East Coast Ambassador to Hendrick’s Gin.
Prior to his move across the big pond, Erik began his journey in 2012 as the Hendrick’s Gin Ambassador to Asia looking after markets including China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Thailand and Hong Kong.
His love affair with spirits began when he was a young bartender in his hometown Uppsala in 1998. Erik holds 25 years of experience in the industry, and has a deep and passionate love for travel, which led him to bar programs and ownership roles in London, China and Stockholm.
In addition to his wealth of knowledge in mixology, service, and spirits, Erik plays the bass clarinet and is fluent in Mandarin, both of which he brings with him on his travels to exotic locales.
Most recent Erik passed the International Brewers and Distillers Certificate in distillation, Bar5Day, inducted in the UK Gin Guild and nominated for ambassador of the year at GinMagazine awards in 2021.
Erik spends his days exploring the most eccentric bars and speakeasies across the region, finding new ways to celebrate the unique rose and cucumber-infused gin in subtle and complex concoctions. Outside of mixology, Erik can be found enjoying the great outdoors hunting and fishing as well as playing classical music.
