History

The IBA Tiki was invented by Cuban bartender Diosmel Mendoza Medrano in 2022 for the International Bartenders Association's 69th annual World Cocktail Championship, held in the Cuban resort town of Varadero that November. It was the first edition of the event after a hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The recipe was subsequently adopted by the IBA itself, which added it to its official cocktail list in the New Era category in 2024.
