The virtual competition will allow bartenders to not only showcase their talents, but the flavours of Corte Vetuso while also supporting the industry during this period of crisis.
First prize will get £250 as well as the full portfolio of mezcal while second place will receive £100 and one bottle and then third, fourth and fifth will get £50.
