The Bartenders Society holds 11th cocktail competition in Bordeaux

The Bartenders Society has released an aftermovie documenting the 11th edition of its cocktail and soft cocktail competition, which took place on May 31 and June 1 in Bordeaux, France.

The competition, supported by brands such as Marie Brizard, Saint James, and Caraïbos, featured ten finalists from across France. The event focused on the theme ‘Voyage around spices,’ challenging participants to create cocktail experiences inspired by global flavors.

Competitors participated in several stages, including a mystery challenge involving non-alcoholic cocktails based on spices and Caraïbos, and a qualification round held on a boat on the Garonne river where they reproduced their original cocktail entries using Saint James, Marie Brizard, and Caraïbos.
