The final challenge. The ultimate title. ✨🍸
The winners of the five categories — Classic, National, Long Drink, Mocktail, and Mediterranean — faced the final stage of the International Barlady Competition: the Barlady of the Year challenge.
In this exciting round, the competitors were given a mystery box and had 30 minutes in the preparation room to design and prepare their cocktail.
Then, they stepped on stage with just 10 minutes to craft their drink and present it to the judges through technique, creativity, and storytelling.
This carousel captures the intensity and excitement of the final — the bartenders in action, the judges evaluating the creations, the announcement of the winner, and the unforgettable celebrations during the gala award party.
Congratulations to all five incredible finalists and to the Barlady of the Year for an outstanding performance and an inspiring moment for our global barlady community.
