USBG Presents World Class Sponsored By DIAGEO is scouring the nation to find the 2023 World Class US Bartender of the year!
Bartenders, nationwide, are vying to become the 2023 World Class US Bartender of the Year for the opportunity to compete at the World Class Global Finals! Last month, the World Class judging panel narrowed hundreds of applications down to The Top 100 after carefully evaluating each entry.
Each competitor was tasked with creating their own take on a Spritz cocktail. Every Top 100 cocktail was recreated, blind-tasted, and scored by our panel of esteemed judges to narrow it down to the final Top 30.
