On July 28th, the 2019 Lion City 2nd Annual China Baijiu Cocktail Competition Finals was held at the Orchard Central@Sky Bar. We invited the MD of Singapore China Baijiu Pte Ltd. - Mr.Charles Oon, Vice President of the Association of Bartenders and Sommeliers (Singapore) - Mr. Steven Cheng and lastly Mr. Isz, the runner-up in the 2018 Lions City China Baijiu Cocktail Competition; to be the judges for the competition. The four finalists and the support from their friends and families electrified the atmosphere to the highest point!

 

 

The four finalists were Haran (Figure 1 & 2) Kumar (Figures 3 & 4) Khai (Figures 5 & 6) and Dee (Figures 7 & 8). Each contestant added their own life stories to their work. Haran used Indian Spices in cocktails and the younger Kumar created bright, bold and trendy cocktails. Khai used to be a barista and he made cold-brewed coffee as a seasoning, while Dee added his childhood memories, beancurd, to Wuliangye Cocktail. The innovative ideas and amazing skills from each one of them have impressed the judges.

 

 

The sky darkened as the competition progressed. The cheering of the guests last throughout the competition, only to show the participants the greatest support! The three judges tasted each cocktail carefully and watched the 12 glasses of Moutai, Wuliangye, Guojiao 1573 creative Baijiu Cocktails being prepared. We saw the fusion of multiculturalism and the renewal of the times! China Baijiu have shown unlimited possibilities!
