Ten participants competed over different categories (bartenders, head bartenders, and beverage managers) at Vresso’s bartending competition held on July 3. The event was attended by 80 people.

During the competition, each bartender had 20 minutes to prepare two cocktails: An original Pina Colada with a twist, and a second beverage from their own creation.

Participants who used the Magnablend from Taylor got bonus points on each drink.

Three experts judged the competition: Sevag Jerejian, Khaled El Hajj, and Mike Bkassini.

Elie Bseibes won the first prize and got a ticket to attend Athends Bar Show 2018. Sam Aw came second and won a USD 200 discount voucher for any purchase from Vresso, and Jade Ismail came third and won a USD 150 discount voucher for any purchase from Vresso.
