Southern Comfort Mixology Competition

The day before the barshow I was judging a cool new competition style. As we are all well aware now, flair bartending is cool but loosing it to ultrahip mixology. Trendsetting as usual, barsupport introduced a new style of competition- a flair bartending competition without flair.

Located in a beautiful former church in Amsterdam, 15 competitors from allover Holland were selected to compete one by one, first with a speed mixology round and following a mixology round. In focus was pure bartender presentation with a "mix with style" terminology in an urban background.

Gotta love it!

This years barshows in Netherlands was a blast. As usual.
I think it is really because the barsupport NL guys are doing it. I went a day early to judge a traditional mixology competition for Southern Comfort, also organized by Ian.

Great fun and three drinks that really rocked my boat.
If you thought Southern Comfort tastes nice, go off on these ones. I will get Ian to send me the recipies, the drinks are thrilling.

Here is some pictured content for you guys.



What I liked most of all was meeting fabulous Jörg Meyer, da man from the incredulicious lion,
that was pimping us with some great content on his flickr page. Jörg, you are the man.
