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.
Freshies Food Launches Cannabis & CBD-Infused Cocktail Mixers
0 Shares
Denver, Colo. Since 1994 Freshies Food Co. has been producing the top-selling cocktail mixes in Colorado. This year, they launched cannabis-infused versions of their most popular products with 100mg of CBD per bottle (20mg per serving). This includes their award-winning Bloody Mary and Margarita pre-mixes, which are now available in stores throughout Colorado and through their website at Freshies.com.
The owners and founders of Freshies originated from the ski town of Telluride, Colo. and their story is an interesting one. “We started all this as a couple of ski bums,” quotes co-owner Ian Gustin, “my partner and I were a bartender and a chef, and our mixes got so popular that people started insisting we bottle them.” With that, Freshies was born, and Coloradoans were introduced to a new style of cocktail mixers made with fresh, all-natural ingredients.
