Winning Cocktails - 2020-21
The Bacardí Legacy Cocktail Competition always straddles two years with competitors around the world competing in their national competitions one year while the global final follows in the next year. Like so much else in life, the Covid-19 pandemic led to the 2021 final, scheduled to be held May 2020 in Miami, to be postponed.
The final, eventually held virtually, revealed eight bartenders selected from the original 39 national finalists. These Grand Finalists presented their Legacy cocktails via video to a panel of judges in London at the end of June 2021 who awarded Praphakorn Konglee the winner with his Out of Sight cocktail - the second consecutive to be won by a bartender from Thailand.
