Yumit Kumar Wins First Bar Maestro Title With Simplicity

Yumit Kumar is a bartender from Delhi who won the first Bar Maestro competition.

Bartenders had to make a special drink inspired by five elements of nature.

Instead of making a very complicated cocktail, Kumar chose to keep his drink simple.

He used ingredients that people could buy and use at home.

He believed that a drink should be easy for others to make again.

Kumar said the hardest part was connecting all five elements into one clear idea.

He began bartending after deciding that working in a hot kitchen was not for him.

He now believes bartenders should first understand what customers enjoy drinking.
