BITTER BABES @ MNEMONIC | TAKEOVER
MEET TRIINU. One of the babes joining the very first edition of Bitter Babes, a project created by Diana Tšistjakova (Diana Tšistjakova ) to highlight and celebrate talented women in the bar industry.
Triinu Tollimägi is cheerful, curious and always ready to play around with something new, and that energy finds its way into her cocktails too. Travelling, meeting new people and discovering new flavours are a big part of where her inspiration comes from.
Bartending started as a hobby just a few years ago, but cocktail competitions quickly became a big part of her journey. In 2025, she won Best Estonian Cocktail, followed by another win this year at the Estonian Finlandia Bartender Competition.
Her style? Playful but balanced. For Triinu, a cocktail should be fun to experience, not just drink.
WHERE TO FIND HER:
Triinu is behind the bar at Blood Milk Water in Tartu, a small cocktail bar where creativity, quality ingredients and a little bit of weirdness are always welcome. Most things are made in-house, from cordials and syrups to infusions, with plenty of room for experimentation.
Tomorrow, Triinu brings that same playful energy behind MNEMONIC | MODERN DIVE BAR | TALLINN for BITTER BABES. 🍸🖤
See you at the bar!
IF YOU WERE A NEGRONI, WHAT KIND OF NEGRONI WOULD YOU BE?
Triinu: “I’d be a Tiki Negroni. Silky smooth, bittersweet, rich and tropical. Sweet and strong, just like me. Familiar enough to feel comfortable, but definitely not boring.”
