Edition 06.

CULINARY CHALLENGE

The Craft Clash Maribor 

Location

Date

21. may 2026

For Edition 06, we took the Clash outdoors and took over Minoriti Pod Hrastom! This time, we had a little something extra for our bartenders: a food-pairing challenge. Chef Rok Zebec from Gostilna Pri Karlu prepared a stuffed profiterole with fish tartare, white asparagus cream and strawberry gel. Sounds easy to pair with a cocktail, right? Well, that was their problem! We also welcomed our first international challengers, Șerban and Ionuț from Oddity Bar in Romania, who joined Timotej and Andrii behind Minoriti’s long bar. Four bartenders, four cocktails, all at once! Meanwhile, DJ Mamuth kept the tunes coming and the crowd dancing. When the votes were counted, Șerban and Timotej were tied. And how do bartenders settle a tie? With a Margarita speed challenge, of course! Kevin Kos, Amadej Komar and Rok’s assistant stepped in as judges, putting both speed and taste to the test. One final showdown, one winner crowned and one unforgettable night under the oak tree.
