HCCM COLOMBIA FINALISTS

COLOMBIAN FINALISTS
Congratulations to Andrés David Pineda Muloz and Daniel Parra – the 2025 Colombia National Champions.
Representing the world-renowned Alquímico bar in Cartagena, Andrés and Daniel have won hearts and palates with their cocktail “Prí”, earning their spot among the global finalists of HCCM 2025.
Their creation is more than a drink, it’s a living expression of Colombian identity and pride.
In Colombia, “Prí” is more than just a word. It’s a bond, a way of saying “we’re family” between cousins, friends, and soul brothers. This cocktail is the echo of a shared history, the whisper of African ancestors, and the fusion of cultures that shape the Colombian soul: mestizo blood, bright smiles, and warm hearts.
Inspired by the vibrant spirit of Havana Club, Prí is a Caribbean punch and a call to brotherhood.
Its core: a falernum made from ñeque and ancestral spices — the same ones that once traveled hidden in the braids of Afro-descendant ancestors, whose strength and courage brought flavor and color to the Caribbean.
Each sip is a celebration, a dance between Africa and the Caribbean, a tribute to who we were and who we are.
Andrés and Daniel have proven themselves as true ambassadors of Colombian creativity, heritage, and souL
We’ll be sharing more about their journey and their cocktail very soon — stay tuned!
But for now, let’s raise our glasses to Alquímico, and to Andrés and Daniel, as they prepare to represent Colombia on the global stage.
A heartfelt thank you to all the participants, supporters, and organizers who made the Colombian edition of the competition such a powerful and emotional success.
The journey continues, cheers to identity, roots, and the vibrant spirit of Colombia. ¡Prí!
A tribute to brotherhood, ancestry, and Caribbean soul
