Lorenzo Ñíguez
Bartender / Businessman
Young bartender from La Mancha living in the inland area of Levante. Since he started in the profession, he has followed a philosophy of continuous improvement, training in the dining room, sommelier, and mixology.
Profile
He is part of the second class of the Master’s Degree in Modern Cocktails at the prestigious Basque Culinary Center (San Sebastian), thus obtaining the only university qualification in this sector in our country. He has competed in national contests, creating the recipe for the best Gin & Tonic in Spain in 2018 and being a member of the Levante cocktail team two years in a row, captaining it the last one. Lorenzo is currently focusing his career on studying in-depth the techniques of winemaking with the idea of being able to fully immerse himself in the fermentation and distillation process.
"We definitely have Teichenné to thank for the wide range of liqueurs it allows us to play with, creating recipes like our version of White Russian by swapping the coffee liqueur for Butterscotch."
Lorenzo is, together with his brother Alejandro, the third generation of “GRAVYS Coctelería” in Villena. In this town in Alicante, they take on the challenge of bringing both classic cocktails and the latest advances in liquid gastronomy to the public in the region. In this town in Alicante, they take on the challenge of bringing both classic cocktails and advances in liquid gastronomy to the public in the region. This family-run establishment opened back in 1979 and, today, we can talk about vintage and timeless “Cocktail Bar” concept, whose pillars are: the search for new flavours and experiences, impeccable service and treatment, and top-quality products. In this respect, almost the entire TEICHENNÉ portfolio can be found in the GRAVYS bar.
“Teichenné’s Gins references are ideal to enjoy a very good Gin & Tonic km0. Level Gin is a spectacular show of elegance for those who want a classic, lifelong drink. And one of our successes is our Mediterranean Gin & Tonic with l’Arbre Gin and orange peel”. “Teichenné’s Gins references are ideal to enjoy a very good Gin & Tonic km0.

“For all those who ask for a Cubalibre, we don’t take any chances. The house reference has been Ron Tabú for several years now. It’s a fabulous product that allows us to serve a very high quality drink at an affordable price for the customer. It never disappoints you”.

“Customers are more and more open to new spirits, such as Mezcal. Being a very expensive product, both inside and outside Mexico, it is a luxury to be able to have two references such as Machetazo and MéXXIco. The scandals fit together and allow us to raise the level of cocktails, as well as to showcase international artisanal products”.
Currently, Lorenzo and Alejandro are expanding their horizons with training courses, where they give cocktail classes to both amateurs and professionals. In addition, they have developed a beverage CATERING service and event planner for companies and individuals. A good idea if you want a different kind of party: they take care of everything, from the product to the cleaning, including the show. In addition, the menu is fully customisable, but they always include a Teichenné product in the service.
