Bacardi Legacy Competition
Hosted by Bacardi
The Bacardi Legacy competition “aims to challenge cocktail bartenders from around the world to find the BACARDÍ rum cocktail with the greatest potential to establish itself as a classic and join the pantheon of BACARDÍ® Legacy cocktails alongside the Mojito, Daiquirí and Cuba Libre before it.” In 2017, entrants submitted their entries online for a coveted spot in one of the regional competitions. Regional winners were selected to compete in the National Finals and the winner will compete in the Global Competition.
Entries are already closed for 2018 but I’d be surprised if we didn’t see this one come up again in 2019. Keep an eye out here and here for updates, rules and requirements.
Advancing winners get all-expenses paid travel to their later stages of the competition culminating in the global final in Mexico City in May 2018
I asked the Bacardi Legacy team when 2019 entries would open but they weren’t sure yet. They did say, “it is usually within a couple of months of the Grand Final” and recommended keeping an eye on the Bacardi Legacy Facebook page here. and the Bacardi Legacy Website.
