THE 2023 MARGARITA CHALLENGE: MEET THE FINALISTS
AND THE FINALISTS ARE...
THE JURY
“For a competition of this magnitude, we sought expertise, professionalism, and technicality of the highest order. And we found it: the level of craftsmanship and creativity of the entries we received far exceeded our expectations. Selecting 11 finalists was hard enough: now, the jury’s most difficult task will be crowning a winner.” Rory Shepherd, Former creative Director of The Little Red Door, World’s 50 Best Bars awardee.
MAY THE BEST MIX WIN

MAY THE BEST MIX WIN
It’s not over yet. All 11 finalists will be flown to France for three days of immersive visits and mixology challenges, culminating in the crowning of one grand prize winner in April 2023. The first-place recipe creator will walk away with a trip for two to France, a sponsor budget to take off on a tour to promote their reinvented Original Margarita in the world’s best cocktail bars.
Each of the 11 finalists have demonstrated world-class creativity and craftsmanship, but only one will be crowned the winner on May 5th. Stay tuned for the reveal—and in the meantime, play jury at home by mixing up each of their creations yourself.
