🍸 Face to Face: What Has Been the Most Challenging Cocktail You’ve Ever Had to Make?
In the world behind the bar, there are some questions really make you think. The kind that have you replaying every service, every customer, and every mix made against the clock.
And this time, it’s about looking across the bar and asking yourself the big question: “What has been the most challenging cocktail you’ve ever had to prepare?”
🎤 This is the fourth instalment of our Face to Face series, where leading figures from the world of mixology pose questions that go straight to the heart of the craft.
On this occasion, the challenge comes from none other than Christian Delpech, 19-time world flair champion, who shoots a precise question directly at our Brand Ambassador,Luis Inchaurraga.
And as expected, the answer does not disappoint.
Luis takes us straight to a very special moment:
An unforgettable guest bartending session, where creativity, tension, teamwork, and passion for mixology were served ice-cold and charged with adrenaline.
A service where cocktails were more than just drinks: they were language, liquid culture, and pure show.

👉 Because sometimes the bar becomes a stage.
And that tricky cocktail, the one that tests you… is exactly what reminds you why you love this craft.
đź‘€ And you? What has been your most challenging cocktail?
Maybe it was that customer who asked for a non-alcoholic tiki reinterpretation but “full of flavour”.
Or that Saturday night when the shaker seemed to have a mind of its own.
Whatever it was, every difficult cocktail has its story. And every story teaches us something.
Why do we love this format?
Face to Face is not just the usual interview.
It’s a meeting point between professionals who admire, respect, and challenge each other with real questions.
And you can definitely feel it.
The next instalment will be just as intense as usual.
So start thinking: what would you ask a leading bartender?
