That philosophy earned Sanz the title of 2026 U.S. West Coast Winner of the Bols Cocktail Battle with his cocktail, Fire and Ice. Inspired by his culinary background, a love of Game of Thrones, and the versatility of the Bols portfolio, Sanz crafted a drink that balanced bold flavors with approachable creativity. His winning cocktail secured him a trip to Amsterdam, where he’ll represent the West Coast at the renowned Bols Cocktail Fever experience alongside bartenders from around the world.
