The Winning Cocktails
(Brought to you by Access Skills Ireland)
On Friday 2nd July, learners undertook a Mixologist competition organised to allow them display the skills and techniques they learned during the recently completed Professional Bartending module delivered by tutor Liam Duffy.
The competition required each learner to research recipes, understand processes, display mixology techniques and show flair in seasoning and presentation. They were required to prepare an alcoholic and non – alcoholic cocktail.
Guest Judge was Mr. Neil Cummins of Irishtown House Bar, Dublin. Mr. Cummins commented on the high standard of drinks produced by all learners but there could only be two winners,
1st place: Francis Morrissey
2nd Place: Kim Meaney
Second Place Cocktails
Francis and Kim stood above all the rest for their technique, flavour and balance of both cocktails they each produced. The winners each received a winner’s trophy, a professional cocktail kit and a box of chocolates.
The learners truly enjoyed the experience and were very motivated by the positive feedback they all received.
