The Martini Masters competition, organized in Greece by ProDrinks and Ramsbury Single Estate to crown the best Martini-inspired cocktail, was officially announced on June 11 at an Official Lunch held at 360 Cocktail Bar.
The announcement was made by Mikul Kalyan, Global Brand Ambassador of Ramsbury Single Estate, and Sotiris Tsanakas, Brand Manager of ProDrinks.
During the second phase of the competition, which is currently underway, participants have the opportunity to experiment with their recipes until Wednesday, August 7. By that date, they must upload their cocktail as an Instagram story, tagging Ramsbury (@ramsbury_distillery) and ProDrinks (@prodrinksgr).
The Ramsbury team, as part of a global tour, will taste and score all submitted creations to select six finalists. Their cocktails will then compete in each country’s national final (the competition runs simultaneously in Sweden, Canada, and Germany). Evaluation criteria include:
Taste & texture (50 points)
Appearance (25 points)
Sustainability (50 points)
The creator of the best Martini-based cocktail will win:
A 4-day trip to London with a VIP tour of the Ramsbury Single Estate and distillery
The creation and bottling of a personal gin recipe
One night’s stay at The Bell
An invitation for a bar takeover at a top London bar during London Cocktail Week
In addition, the overall winner—and new Martini Master—will sign a 6-month contract to host Ramsbury masterclasses, guest shifts, and other activations in their home city.
We wish all participants the very best of luck! 🍸
