Paul-Ungureanu-FINALS---Romania---Paul-Ungureanu-Consulting-015

Paul Ungureanu of Paul Ungureanu Consulting in Romania really shook things up at the 2015 World Coffee In Good Spirits Championship in Gothenburg, Sweden. The WCIGS is a competition that blends coffee and spirits together into a series of scrumptious cocktails. We’re big fans of both coffee and cocktails, and Ungureanu’s blend of espresso, Tatratea, maple syrup, and a little Grand Marnier is the best of both worlds.

In life and coffee, Ungureanu believes not only do “you have to be adventurous” but “you have to be inspired by other people as well.” We’ll drink to that!

Everyone on Team Sprudge was inspired by Ungureanu’s adventurous coffee cocktail. For his presentation, Ungureanu placed the aromatics of blooming tea in the base of Libbey Martini Chiller glasses using an Aladin Aromatic Aromatiser.
