Zana Möhlmann named Diageo World Class Global Bartender of the Year 2026

Zana Möhlmann, the Beverage Manager for Manhattan and East47 at Conrad Singapore Orchard, has been crowned the Diageo World Class Global Bartender of the Year 2026. The competition, held in Edinburgh, Scotland, featured top bartenders from 49 countries across six continents.

Originally from the Netherlands, Möhlmann trained in Amsterdam before joining the opening team at Super Lyan. Her victory follows her win of the Singaporean national title earlier this year. During the finals, competitors completed five brand-specific challenges involving products such as Ketel One Vodka, The Singleton Whisky, Don Julio Tequila, Tanqueray No. TEN Gin, and Johnnie Walker Black Label.

A 16-member international judging panel, including industry figures such as Ago Perrone, Monica Berg, and Lorenzo Antinori, evaluated the finalists. As part of her title, Möhlmann will partner with Diageo to create a ready-to-drink cocktail for launch in multiple markets next year and will attend the 2027 World Class Global Final.
