State Winner || De Kuyper The Works Cocktail Competition
De Kuyper is a Dutch distilling company that creates a range of liqueurs that are very popular in bars around the world – this year they challenged bartenders all over Australia to choose a classic cocktail and put their own twist on it. Judging the competition is Dale DeGroff, Dale is also known as the Cocktail King. From the USA, Dale has always been a strong part of the revival of the bartending industry.
