2026 International bartender competitions

Entities: Argentina · Negroni · Campari Group · Buenos Aires · Rincon Bon Vivant

Overview

In July 2026 two high‑profile cocktail contests unfolded across different continents. Baritalia announced its fourth tour stop in Bologna, where bartenders can submit five‑ingredient “Ultra” recipes by early September for a chance to compete in a final in Milan on 23 November. The event emphasizes concise, high‑quality creations and includes masterclasses and networking.

A week later, Argentina held its national final in Buenos Aires to select a representative for the Campari Bartender Competition 2026. The winner will join more than 30 national champions at the global final in Italy after competing in a regional Latin‑American showdown in Mexico. Both initiatives aim to showcase mixology innovation and promote international participation in the 2026 bartender competition circuit.
