A flip of the bottle, a glass toss, and the sway of the hips were not the only highlights of Bar Wars II, as a female bartender humbled all comers to rule the countertop Wednesday night at GIG Discotheque.
Vino Bar’s Dayann De Leon rose above her male counterparts and was declared the champion for the amateur category, beating two-year champ Charlton Lipa of Aqua Resort Club.
Lipa ranked second during the competition but still managed to bag the “Best in Taste” award for his concoction “Zig Zag”—a combination of whip cream, milk, and cream.
De Leon said she really worked hard on her “flair,” improving by leaps and bounds what she showed during the first Bar Wars in August. She said being the only woman in bartending competitions is always a challenge, but being a veteran, plus her drive and inspiration,literally proved to be a good mix in Bar Wars II.
The Bar Flair’s Champ Hwangkyungrok won the International Category by default after would-be participants from Japan and Guam failed to show up.
Bar Wars II was sponsored by AJ’s Restaurant, Miller Lite, Saipan Ice and Water, and Fiesta Resort & Spa Saipan, among others.
