The Northern Marianas Bartenders Association and Aqua Resort Club are all set for tonight’s Bartender Cocktail Competition dubbed “Sauza Tequila Challenge.”
Association president Lito Espino said the community is invited to witness the battle of amateur and professional local bartenders in what promises to be one of most exciting bartending tournaments in the Commonwealth.
Two participants from each participating company are allowed to join the contest but they would not be allowed to wear any identifying outfit such as uniforms that would give away the names or identity of their respective companies. They will be requested to don islandwear black pants and shirts.
Criteria and mechanics of the contest, said Espino, include allowing the participants to use the free pouring technique on alcoholic ingredients. The participants are also discouraged to use concocted ingredients for the competition such as ice cream, chocolate syrup and others.
“All recipes must include Sauza Tequila drink and all mixes must be MARPAC and Coca Cola products only,” said Espino.
The winning bartender will be judged based on originality, taste, showmanship, neatness and audience impact.
A total of six awards will be given on the contest night: Best in Presentation, Best in Taste, Best in Show, 3rd runner-up, 2nd runner-up, and champion.
The top three winners will also receive trophy and medals, including one medal for the recipient of the Best in Show award.
Proceeds for the event will go to the ABS-CBN Foundation’s Adopt-A-Hometown School in the Philippines.
