UK NATIONAL FINALISTS

With a large number of entries nationwide and following the local jury deliberations, some really hard decisions were made for the Havana Club Cocktail Maestros UK top 10!
The next step is now for the national final to take place where the national jury will come and visit the top 10 teams through the In-Bar Judging method, carefully evaluating each cocktail and meeting the teams directly in their bars.
