At Jane Doe, the art of ingenious cocktail crafting serves as a major pillar for its success, and there’s one man to thank for it all: Beverage Director, Marcelino “Marc” Figueiras. Marc is a seasoned beverage professional with many years of experience in the hospitality industry. He began his journey into the world of spirits and mixology quite by accident, initially working in hospitality to pay his way through college. However, what started as a means to an end quickly transformed into an all-consuming passion. Marc’s enthusiasm for all things beverage and hospitality is evident in the way he develops his cocktail program and guides the guest experience.
Marc has dedicated himself to mastering the craft of mixology, driven by a deep respect for the spirits he works with, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. He believes that every spirit has a story to tell, and his role is to understand and honor that story through his creations. This commitment has taken him around the globe, seeking out the finest distilleries and learning from top Master Distillers. His travels across Asia, Europe, and the U.S. have enriched his knowledge and inspired the diverse and innovative cocktail menu at Jane Doe, as well as Orale Mexican Kitchen, and Dullboy, under the esteemed restaurant group, Hecho Restaurants.
In addition to his technical expertise, Marc brings a personal passion for community and hospitality. He aims to create a welcoming and delightful experience for every guest, ensuring that each cocktail not only complements the dining experience but also stands out as a work of art. His curated selection of spirits, known as the Spirits Bible, reflects his dedication to quality and authenticity, featuring top-shelf options chosen for their unique characteristics and contributions to the overall flavor profile of his cocktails.
