Daniela Pedraza was named VinePair’s Best New Bartender of 2025 after impressing judges in a competition that featured four finalists. The competition began with an online application and culminated in a live event at VinePair HQ in NYC. Each finalist showcased their mixology skills, emphasizing creativity and unique flavors. Pedraza's standout creation was a White Negroni-inspired highball, which contributed to her win. She faced stiff competition from other talented bartenders who also presented innovative cocktails, including a tiki-inspired drink and a twist on a classic cocktail.
“Ultimately, Pedraza clinched the win with her presentation, unexpected flavor combinations, and reimagination of a beloved bar staple.”
“All the contestants wowed the judges with their proprietary creations and ability to think creatively on their feet.”}],
