US Regional Finalists Announced
In the second year of The Reid Global Cocktail Competition, bartenders from the USA, the UK, and New Zealand were invited to share a signature cocktail featuring The Reid Single Malt Vodka, highlighting its unique and beautiful flavor.
The USBG and The Reid Vodka are collaborating to create a platform that blends bartending expertise with the exceptional flavor of The Reid Single Malt Vodka. This partnership and The Reid Global Cocktail Competition aims to foster cultural exchange, brand promotion, and industry growth.
This year’s competition brought together an impressive lineup of talented mixologists. Each competitor showcased their unique skills and creativity, presenting cocktails that were as visually stunning as they were delicious. Our judges had the difficult task of selecting the Regional Finalists based on Flavor, Craft, and Originality.
