The 5th Cointreau Margarita Challenge edition exceeded all expectations! 12 of the world's most talented bartenders were invited to reinterpret the iconic Original Margarita recipe, from fruit to leaf.
The 12 finalists and new members of the Cointreau Collective travelled to Angers, France in mid-June to compete and live the Cointreau experience.
The spotlights were on, the mood has never been so joyful and intense, but only one could be crowned the winner!
Robbe Dupon! (from Bruges, Belgium)
Robbe Dupon triumphed with his cocktail “Oranger Unique”, a masterclass in balance and zero-waste creativity. Raise a glass to Robbe!
The recipe:
Big congratulations to Winnie Wei from Shanghai, China for her 2nd place and to Vince Sidari from Sydney, Australia for his 3rd place!
Both of them have mastered the competition thanks to their reinterpretation of the Original Margarita, with The Corn Trio for Winnie and The
Circle of Lemon for Vince.

“This year was a turning point. The level of creativity, precision, and storytelling was
incredible. But what truly sets the Margarita Challenge apart is the human connection.
Our 12 finalists didn't just compete — they supported, inspired, and celebrated each
other. They’re now part of a family, the Cointreau Collective, and we couldn’t be
prouder.”
Kevin Sueiro, Global Brand Ambassador, Cointreau
