Announcing the Top 100 US World Class Bartenders

USBG Presents World Class Sponsored by DIAGEO is scouring the nation to find the 2023 World Class US Bartender of the year!

Over the last few months, hundreds of bartenders from across the nation applied for a chance to earn this prestigious title. In this challenge, competitors were tasked with developing their own take on a Spritz serve. To develop their signature Spritz, they were asked to use a resource on Diageo Bar Academy, such as a Master Class or World Class Studio, to identify an emerging trend that inspired their serve. 

Bartenders also were asked to select one (1) Occasion, Brunch, Pool Day, Aperitivo Hour OR Backyard BBQ to center their signature Spritz serve around. A huge part of cocktail culture is understanding occasions. In fact, as a bartender, one of your biggest challenges is not only developing a tailored cocktail list to complement the cuisine featured at your bar or restaurant's concept but also to understand the drinking occasions of your guests and make complimentary cocktail recommendations. Setting the stage for guests to have not only a fabulous dining experience but a memorable cocktail experience has become a prominent goal when consumers plan a night out on the town. 

Congratulations to the 2023 World Class Top 100 Bartenders!
