Cocktail king from Zurich: Wladimir Reichert wins Unruh in Cologne!

Köln, Deutschland - Wladimir Reichert from Zurich won this year's cocktail competition "Made in GSA". The competition took place in Cologne and is an initiative of the bar culture magazine "Mixology", which has brought together the best mixologists from Germany, Switzerland, Austria and South Tyrol since 2013. Reichert, who works in the newly opened "Studio" bar, was awarded "Unruh" for his outstanding cocktail.

The winching cocktail "Unruh" combines whiskey, wormwood, maraschino liqueur and an alcohol-free distillate of smoked juniper and various conifers. This creative mix not only ensures a unique taste, but also shows the goal of the competition: the development of contemporary cocktails from regional ingredients. The term "GSA" stands for Germany, Switzerland, Austria.

The placements

The jury rated many talented bartenders in total, who presented their creations. Marcus Dreßler from the "Rabbithole" bar in Hamburg secured second place, while Bianca Steinbusch from the Bamberg "Black Schaf" took third place. The special category for non -alcoholic cocktails that Lea Folger from the bar "The Black Schaf" won is particularly remarkable.

A look at the bar culture

The “Made in GSA” competition has established itself as a significant platform for bartenders who want to develop innovative and creative cocktails with regional ingredients. This focus on local products should not only increase the quality of the drinks, but also strengthen awareness of the regional peculiarities of bar culture in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Vladimir Reichert's award shows that manual skills and creative ideas are increasingly valued in mixing cocktails. The event that takes place annually is considered a very special challenge by the participants and the bar culture.

Overall, the event illustrates the dynamics and diversity of the bar scene in the GSA countries and sets new standards for cocktail creation. While the competition in Cologne met with great interest, it remains to be seen which new talents and innovative drinks will produce the next edition.
