Havana Club GP 2011WIN A TRIP TO CUBA!!! - HAVANA CLUB GRAND PRIX -
COCKTAIL COMPETITION 2011HAVANA CLUB COCKTAIL
TRADITION
 Cuba can be
described as having been a haven for good bartenders and famous cocktail
bars. The Association of Barmen was founded here in 1924. In its early
days, the association set up a cocktail school that gave lessons and
organized competitions to improve barmen’s skills.
With prohibition in the United States, Americans saw
the opportunity to get away and visit Cuba as tourists – with a chance
to inspire numerous Cuban cocktails and take part in their creation.
Over the years, the local pool of bartending talent and the high quality
of Cuban rum have served to cement Havana’s reputation as the world’s
cocktail mecca.
This is the place where the Cuba
Libre, Mary Pickford, Hemingway Special, El Presidente, Daiquiri and
Mojito were born, but why stop there? Havana Club has actively
encouraged the invention of new cocktails and the serving of them with
consummate style.
In 1996 the first Havana Club
International Cocktail Grand Prix was organized in Havana, attracting
leading mixologists from around the world. Since then this prize has
become one of the most anticipated of its kind among bartenders around
the world.
Every two years after qualifying in the
national competition, the bartenders compete in Havana to become the
best Havana Club Cantinero. The Grand Prix is organized in association
with the Cuban Cantineros Club.
By winning the
Finnish Havana Club cocktail competition you will qualify as the Finnish
representative to compete in the international Cocktail Grand Prix held
in 2012 in Cuba.
