When life gives you lemons, take it with a pinch of salt and a shot of tequila! As a BBA student in her hometown of Morelia, Michoacán in Mexico, Georgina Barbachano, was plodding through her internship. “I had always hated the food-and-beverage sector, but we were required to intern in all the areas and since I was placed in a restaurant, I was moved from the kitchen, to the floor and then, to the bar. It was when I started at the bar that I fell in love with it!” she laughs.
Following her success at the 2019 Speed Rack Mexico where she placed with the top 20 fastest bartenders, Gina’s cocktail bar Hanky Panky positioned as number 12 in The World’s 50 Best Bars list in 2021. A guest of Moet Hennessey India to replicate global experiences in the country, she recently performed bar takeovers in Copitas at Bengaluru and at Home in Delhi.
