Kwame Amaning
FOUNDER
With over nine years experience in hospitality, Kwame was determined to bring a part of his heritage to the cocktail world, a feature he noticed was painfully lacking in the industry. After a visit to family in Ghana where he tried local palm spirit “akepeteshie” for the first time, he set out with the ambition to showcase the rich wealth of African flavours in drinks, and share the stories of the culture behind them.
Ever curious and dedicated to quality, Kwame is passionate about every detail in cocktails from prep to service, ensuring his guests experience the best drinks whose finish linger in their memory. Every event is an opportunity to share great drinks with even greater company, and a stage to bring stories to life.
Between serving impeccable drinks with Abura, Kwame is consistently working on his craft, bartending at Three Sheets Soho and learning new ways to fall in love with quality cocktails. You can find him making drinks on Instagram: @papakwams
