How It Tastes

Competing for Future Icon 2026
For the Future Icons competition, I wanted to create a cocktail that reflects both my identity as a bartender and my roots. I chose the classic Daiquiri because it is a timeless cocktail built on precision, balance, and technique. With only a few ingredients, every decision matters, making it the perfect canvas to showcase craftsmanship. My inspiration comes from the monsoon. During the rainy season, the aroma of fresh turmeric leaves fills the air, reminding me of home, nature, and tradition. By infusing Bacardi carts blanca rum with turmeric leaves and pairing it with clarified yogurt cordial and tender coconut water, I wanted to capture the freshness and comfort of that season while expressing my own story. This cocktail is my way of honoring a classic while bringing a piece of my home into the glass showing how local memories and ingredients can create a modern interpretation of a timeless drink.
Charcoal-filtered and oak-rested to Don Facundo’s founding blend — light, mixable and endlessly versatile.
