Beijing bartender Zheng Wen has won the title of the youngest champion of the New Millennium bartending competition.

Once you learn what she was able to do, you will understand why she was nicknamed the "queen of cocktails."

But first, a little backstory. Zheng became interested in bartending when she was 6 years old. Her role model was her cousin, who worked behind the bar.

Wen decided to follow in her relative's footsteps, and, as it turned out, she chose this path for a reason.

In 2017, she became a Guinness World Record holder for making the most layered cocktail, consisting of 10 layers.

The work took the girl more than an hour, but in the end she managed to make a drink from 3 mixes with fruit sugar syrup and 7 types of alcohol.

Zheng Wen is an unusual bartender. He masters the art of flair, that is, mixing cocktails using juggling and throwing objects.

Another interesting fact: the girl is allergic to alcohol, and her favorite drink is water.

For reference

Flairing is a bartender's job of preparing cocktails using juggling elements.
