BACARDI LEGACY COCKTAIL COMPETITION 2009


Congratulations to John O Rielly from the Apartment Bar in Belfast on winning the Bacardi Legacy Cocktail Competition 2009. John will now go on to represent Ireland at the Final in London on Feb 4th 2010.

Mixo-logic's Paul Lambert was one of the judges travelling around the country judging the 10 finalists along with Alan Kavanagh. The finalists had to make a classic daiquiri and their own creation, explaining their inspiration behind the recipe.

'Johns recipe was delicious. His whole thought process behind it was first class, taking in Don Facundo's origins in Spain to his Cuban heritage and producing a really outstanding drink which is simple for you or me to make. This for me is what makes a great cocktail. Simplicity!!!' :-
Paul Lambert, Mixo-logic
