In our Training and Education feature, Antonia Ferguson, Hospitality Tutor at Barfection Limited, offers 5 top tips to get competition ready! 🍸 🥂 Prepare: My advice is to check you have everything you need in front of you to make the competition run as smooth as you Old Fashioned’s. Most importantly read the competition rules TWICE! 🍓 Ingredients: Pick your ingredients carefully. Trending items come and go but making them part of something special takes real skill, be mindful of trends but remember this is your creation! 🍾 Brand Standards: Being knowledgeable about the brand, telling a story, what it stands for and why that’s important to your drink really can make the world of difference. 🍹 Practice Makes Perfect: Demo your cocktail to friends, family and colleagues to help practice and gather any suggestions and feedback to make your cocktail that extra special. ❤️ Be Yourself: The biggest part of any competition is YOU. If you are relaxed and having fun, then the judges will be too. Don’t let nerves get the best of you. Take a deep breath, shake it out and go and show everyone why you deserve to win.
