Rules

The essentials

• Exclusively open to bartenders and mixologists employed in a venue located in the Principality of Monaco.
• 2027 theme: “The Next Monaco Classic” — an original cocktail (not a mere twist), well balanced, with a story that reflects Monaco’s elegance.
• Phase 1: application round. Six ingredients maximum (ice and simple garnish excluded), two home-made preparations maximum, free base spirit (3 cl minimum); mocktails are eligible. The 10 best contestants are selected.
• Phase 2: each finalist is assigned a partner brand’s product by draw.
• Round 1 (Top 10): five identical cocktails prepared before the jury with the assigned product (3 cl minimum). The three best scores go through to the super-final.

• A cocktail: six ingredients maximum and 7 cl of alcohol maximum, an original recipe by the contestant.
• Glassware and ice provided by the organisation; personal bar tools.
• The jury is independent of the partners’ commercial interests; its decisions are final.
