An intentional process designed to strengthen every application.
We select students based on attitude and potential, not only on prior experience. We look for curiosity, an entrepreneurial mindset, and a genuine commitment to developing as a professional within the liquid world.
Learn with the best
Our instructors come from Paradiso — World's Best Bar 2022 — and Disfrutar — World's Best Restaurant 2024. Not from the academic circuit but from the work itself.
100% on-campus, in the lab and behind the bar

Build knowledge that moves with the industry
The curriculum is designed and taught by active R&D professionals — people who are shaping where beverage culture is going, not documenting where it has been.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most bar education focuses on execution — replicating recipes and running service. This program focuses on development: understanding processes, controlling outcomes, working with laboratory equipment, and applying structured R&D methodology to liquid creation. It sits at the intersection of the bar world, the kitchen, and the R&D lab — a combination that does not exist elsewhere at this level.
-
The program runs Monday to Thursday, afternoon schedule — 3:00 PM to 7:30 PM. It is intensive by design, combining theory, demonstration, and hands-on lab sessions across each week.
-
You do not need to be a specialist in mixology, but some professional background in gastronomy or beverage is expected. The program is not designed for complete beginners. It is designed for people who have a foundation and are ready to deepen it.
-
Yes. The program is explicitly built for both profiles. Chefs and culinary professionals will find that the curriculum applies the same logic they use in the kitchen — flavour, texture, structure, process — directly to the liquid world.
-
There is no formal age requirement. The average student age is 21, but the program welcomes applications from professionals at different stages of their career.
-
The program is designed for an international profile, and each intake is built with diversity — of background, nationality, and professional experience — as a core criterion.
-
Each intake is strictly capped at 16 students. This is not a logistical constraint — it is a pedagogical decision. Small cohorts allow instructors to work closely with each participant and ensure the quality of every session.
