Sponsored by Bacardi, the participants will be judged on taste, presentation, the cocktail itself and the bar person’s persona.

Three alcohols are available to use - Bacardi, Jack Daniels and Chambord - and the cocktail creators can choose to use all three or just one.

Compere for the evening will be Brian Moore ands there will be a prize for the best cocktail maker and their bar.

Alan says the evening will also be a fundraiser for the Red Sails Festival and he hopes that the event will become a regular attraction in the programme of events.
