new champs
What better way to end Manhattan Cocktail Classic than with the announcement of the United States Bartenders Guild and Diageo World Class 2013’s Bartender of the Year Finalists!? Last night in the East Village USBG and Diageo World Class announced this year’s finalists who will meet mere weeks from now to battle for the title “U.S. Bartender of the Year.” The U.S. winner will then compete on the global scale.
I’ve attached some photography (photo credit Diageo World Class, Jason Rodgers) of the evening and a full list of our finalists below.
