  • Inception Group Cocktail Competition Final 🍸✨ At Bacardi Headquarters, the four finalists of the Cocktail Competition dazzled with their talent, creativity, and passion. The event kicked off with a thrilling first challenge: crafting the perfect margarita—with a twist! Each contestant brought their unique flair, setting an impressive standard for the day. Next up was "Ready, Steady, Shake!"—a fast-paced challenge where finalists had to select ingredients from the table and incorporate a mystery component into their cocktail creations. The pressure was on, but the results were nothing short of spectacular. The grand finale featured the Showstopper Cocktail, a personal creation each finalist had meticulously perfected in the lead-up to the event. With heart and soul poured into both the story and the drink, each cocktail was truly a masterpiece.
