Giffard West Cup Cocktail Competition is back
Giffard has recently announced the return of our international cocktail competition for its 29th edition.
Participants will be challenged to create two complementary drinks, each capturing a unique moment, mood, and context of consumption throughout the day
Taking place every two years, the competition sees competitors from 20 countries competing to be crowned global champion and representing their home country on the international stage.
“In 2024, we saw our very own Stephie Fletcher from Dublin’s Bar 1661, who competed in the Grand Final, only narrowly missing out on the top spot.
This time round, we are determined to go one better and have an Irish global champion”. – said Paul Flynn, sales & marketing manager at MCM Spirits, exclusive importers for Giffard.
This year’s theme is ‘Sip the Moments’.
Participants will be challenged to create two complementary drinks, each capturing a unique moment, mood, and context of consumption throughout the day.
From sunrise to moonlight.
