Yannik Seeber

WhoAmI

I’m Yannik Seeber, Diageo World Class Bartender of the Year 2026 from Innsbruck. My path into the bar world wasn’t a straight line — it was more of a marathon. I started out as a career changer behind the bar and worked my way forward step by step with curiosity, discipline, and passion. For me, bartending is about more than just drinks — it’s about experiences, precision, and genuine hospitality.

Sharing knowledge means a lot to me. I’m strongly against gatekeeping and believe in passing on talent, passion, and motivation. Behind the bar, there should be space for everyone who puts their heart into it.

Crafted Under Pressure. Shared Without Ego.

Edición Don — For a Community That Gives Back

The best bartenders know pressure. Every service, every pour, every detail. Edición Don, created with Don Julio Reposado, is inspired by the precision, creativity, and standards of the world’s finest bars, their bartenders, and Don Julio himself.

At its core, the cocktail transforms pressure into an experience. A carefully balanced combination of Don Julio Reposado, coconut, roasted tonka, pandan leaf, and pineapple is carbonated and served in a can — making pressure both a technical element and the defining character of the drink.

But Edición Don is about more than the cocktail. It is about the people behind the bar and what happens when knowledge and creativity are shared.

A QR code on the can leads guests to a short video telling the story of the drink and the idea behind it. From there, the journey continues to this website — a free platform created by myself for bartenders around the world.

The platform allows bartenders to Learn through a knowledge pool where bartenders from around the globe share their tips, tricks, and, most importantly, their favorite Don Julio creations.

In this way, Edición Don becomes more than a cocktail. It becomes a platform for inspiration, knowledge, mentorship, and community — connecting bartenders and giving something back to the people who shape the craft.

Edición Don — A Community That Gives Back.

Matteo palomba - moebius milano - #7 the world´s 50 best bars

Hello everyone!

I'm Matteo Palomba from Moebius Milano and I want to share a very personal tip about being a bartender, something that guided me through my days as a bartender and helped me grow as a bartender and as a human being.

Do not get comfortable.

As one of my commanding officers once said (a long time ago):"Pressure and heat make diamonds"

So find that pressure and that heat, accept to be uncomfortable and in a tough spot until it becomes easy, until you master every skill you needed and you haven't trained enough before.

I think this is what sets a good bartender apart from an excellent one: someone who didn't just stop at what they were good at, but also worked to fill their gaps.

And for that's my pill for the day!
Stay thirsty! Cheers!!
