Calling all enthusiastic bartenders! Chairman’s Reserve and Dave Marsland, also known as The Drinks Enthusiast, are offering you the chance to win a visit to St Lucia as the guest of St Lucia Distillers, who beat off the challenge from the world’s finest malt whisky and cognac distilleries to take the trophy for Individual Distiller of the Year at the International Spirits Challenge 2013. The visit will include rum training at this distinguished distillery, and the
chance to share expertise with the island’s enthusiastic bartenders, as well as plenty of opportunity to find out why the beautiful island of St Lucia is one of the world’s favourite Caribbean destinations. This is almost enough for me to want to change careers!
So how do you enter? Drop Dave Marsland an email to drinks_enthusiast@yahoo.co.uk with your recipe by midnight on Friday 28th February. Judges will pick their 5 favourites and their creators will be invited to demonstrate them at the Drinks Live stage at the Northern Restaurant and Bar Show. The following information is required within your submission:

Chairman’s Reserve Finest St Lucia rum and basic bar equipment will be supplied at the final, with all other ingredients, garnishes and glassware to be provided by the competitor.
