Affectionately known as ‘El Hombre,’ Agung has built a stellar reputation for his creativity and expertise in mixology, becoming the first Indonesian bartender to place in the top 3 of the Angostura Global Cocktail Competition in 2020. His journey began in France, where he earned his nickname after impressing customers with the best Pisco Sour they had ever tasted. Agung’s life motto, ‘Before you mix any cocktails, always understand how to treat every ingredient,’ encapsulates his approach to crafting balanced and innovative drinks.
As one of the leading figures in Indonesia’s cocktail scene, Agung is known for his signature cocktails like Esmeralda, Watermelon Sugar, and Sunny Side Up.
