In recent years, David has participated in a number of high profile events, such as having served as the official Mixologist for the Latin Grammys, and having created the official cocktails for the Ryder Cup. Additionally, he was involved with the Gastro Symphony Project with the world’s best tenor and chef, Juan Diego Flórez and Joan Roca respectively, which took place at the United Nations in Switzerland in order to commemorate Human Rights Day by combining music, food and cocktails. Another important event was the official launch of Haig Club Whisky in Spain with David Beckham.

Not only has David operated various cafés, cocktail bars, and even a cocktail catering service, he also dedicates his time to sharing his knowledge, expertise and experience by teaching training courses and Cocktail Master Classes around the world. Furthermore, he gives motivational talks to up and coming professionals, and is a cocktail and hospitality consultant, advising wine dealers on purchases and distilleries when developing new brands. David regularly acts as an international cocktail judge, and judge of world’s best bars, while continually setting new professional challenges for the future.

He has also been recognized with the Ibero-American medal by the Honoris Causa Foundation for promoting Tequila, Mezcal and Mexican culture around the world.

Recently, David has obtained the title of official Sherry Wine Educator. David considers that wine and cocktails are brothers, which is why he considers the development of cocktails with wine base is very important.

To all this, we must add his certificate as a taster in Sensory Evaluation of Tequila obtained in Jalisco, Mexico with the master Ana Maria Romero and the certificate in the course Los Secretos del Mezcal taught by Aventureros del Mezcal.

And also, his last certificate in wines by the prestigious WSET – Wine & Spirit Education Trust

His acclaimed cocktail creations are inspired by stunning Basque mountainous landscapes and coastal areas and beaches displaying a weakness for citric aromas and bitter tastes. Finally and most importantly, however, David’s motto is: ‘Learn, show respect and maintain ongoing improvement‘.

Of course, he never forgets to dream, enjoy, and smile.
