Nikolett Czene Secures Second Place at Mix & Mingle, Heads to Finals

This past week at the Mix & Mingle event organized by the Hungarian Bartender Association, excitement and creativity flowed as freely as the cocktails. We are thrilled to announce that Hotsy Totsy’s own Nikolett Czene claimed the second-place spot in the competitive Maker’s Mark category.

The event, generously supported by industry giants such as Zacapa, Hendrick’s, and Maker’s Mark, proved to be a grand stage for Hungary’s top bartenders. Nikolett’s performance was a showcase of her exceptional skills and inventive approach to mixology, earning her a spot in the Hungarian Championship finals to be held at the Goodspirit Rum & Cocktail Show on May 11-12, 2024.

Nikolett’s journey through the world of cocktails is a source of pride for us at Hotsy Totsy, and her success at Mix & Mingle is a testament to her dedication and artistry. Her exceptional cocktail not only delighted the judges but also set the bar high for the final competition.

We are also excited to host the official opening party for the finals, the Dos Deus masterclass & guestshift, right here at Hotsy Totsy on May 10th. This event promises to be an unforgettable evening of learning, tasting, and celebrating the craft of cocktails with some of the best in the business.

We invite you to join us in supporting Nikolett at the finals. More details about the event and how to support her can be found HERE.

Stay tuned for further updates and join us as we cheer on Nikolett in her pursuit of cocktail excellence. Here’s to great achievements and innovative creations in the world of mixology at Hotsy Totsy!
