Team New Zealand took home The Reid Cup and the award for Best Bartender overall went to Harry Findlay, from Londo in Christchurch, with his cocktail ‘Figet About It’. Paul Minea, from the Sofitel in London came in second with his cocktail ‘Barley and Kiwi’ and Michael Jones of Pravda in Wellington placed third with ‘Tea & Biscuits’.

The Reid Global Cocktail Competition was a massive success, with a record number of entrants from all corners of the UK, US and New Zealand. To reach the Grand Final round these competitors progressed through three rounds of competition, including a live Regional Final, to earn a spot on their country team. Following an amazing week of adventure and activity in the Cardrona Valley, these talented twelve battled it out on stage, showcasing their skill and creativity through their signature cocktails made with The Reid Vodka, which were evaluated by a panel of expert judges hailing from the UK, USA and NZ.

The calibre of cocktails presented throughout this global competition was incredibly high, demonstrating skill, passion and a true love for The Reid Vodka. Congratulations to everyone who entered, and to this year's winners!
