Born in Bali and based in Bangkok, 21-year-old Tamaryn Cooper has a natural gift for mixing drinks. Just months after she reached legal drinking age in 2019, she became the only woman ever to reach the finals of the Campari Bartending Competition Thailand. When she walked away with the gold, she was also the youngest bartender to have done so. Then, as first runner-up in Campari’s Asia Regional Final, she placed in the world’s top three. All this after only a year of drinking.
