BEIRUT’S L’AVOCAT WINS BEEFEATER’S BARTENDING COMPETITION

Beefeater, renowned premium gin, held the Beefeater Global Bartender competition MIXLDN 2015, featuring talented mixologists in Lebanon serving up reinterpreted gin cocktails. The brand is distributed in Lebanon by Nexty SARL, part of Fawaz Holding.

This year, the challenge was to re-invent a classic gin cocktail, while mirroring the continued evolution of London as a city of fusion of the past and the present as a mix of flavors, styles, ideas, and cultures. The selected finalists competed at Workshop Mar Mikhael, bringing to life some of their best innovations of flavorful mixes and show- stopping cocktails, using Beefeater Dry and Beefeater 24. The expert judges composed of Sebastian Hamilton-mudge - Beefeater’s Global Brand Ambassador, Nawaf Beydoun – Bodo Bars Owner, and Annie Dilsizian - Editor of Hospitality News Middle East and Taste & Flavors magazines, elected Edward Khattar from L’avocat - Badaro as the national winner. Khattar will be flown to London in January 2016 to compete against the best bartenders in the world at the Beefeater MIXLDN Global Bartender Final for the title of Beefeater Global Bartender Champion 2015.
