Second place at the Dutch Bartender Championships 2025 – created by Youri Pos, top bartender at The Peacock Bar, Zwolle, Netherlands.
The Aurora Bianca is a sparkling cocktail where Mexico and Portugal meet. The fresh and vibrant character of ALMA Limoncello blends beautifully with the refined elegance of Graham’s White Port. With a touch of lime, soda, and bitters, it becomes a light and refreshing long drink — the very reason why bartender Youri Pos, from The Peacock Bar in Zwolle, won second place at the Dutch Bartender Championships 2025 with this creation.
