GRANADA, Nicaragua, March 12, 2026 \/PRNewswire\/ — In an inspiring celebration of talent, purpose and sustainability, Jared Schmidt from Osetra Bar in Canada was crowned the “World’s Sustainable Cocktail Champion 2025” during the Global Final of Flor de Ca\u00f1a’s renowned Sustainable Cocktail Challenge, held on Saturday, March 7th, in the breathtaking volcanic islets of Granada, Nicaragua.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To mark the brand’s 135th anniversary, this year’s edition celebrated classic cocktails, inviting bartenders to reinterpret timeless recipes through a modern and sustainable lens.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The competition brought together 15 top mixologists, selected from over 25 participating countries worldwide, who share Flor de Ca\u00f1a’s commitment to building a more sustainable future for the industry. Against the stunning natural backdrop of the Mombacho Volcano, finalists showcased their creativity and mastery by crafting cocktails that balanced exceptional flavor with environmentally conscious practices.

His winning cocktail, called “Por mundo limpio”, is a sustainable reinterpretation of a Golden Era cocktail, featuring Flor de Ca\u00f1a 12 Year Rum with caramelized mushrooms, organic cane sugar and nori for a bold, low-impact flavor profile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
