Competitors revealed for inaugural Plantation Rum Cup

Plantation Rum Cup

Bars from across Australia and New Zealand have come out in force to take part in the inaugural Plantation Rum Cup, and now it’s your turn to give your support.

The bars and Plantation Rum Cup teams will now promote their cocktails until later August with COVID restrictions and closures being taken into account throughout the judging process. The bars and teams are encouraged to consider how their cocktail can feature on takeaway menus in areas where COVID restrictions are imposed.

Competition organisers said: “Each cocktail will be made and judged in an off-location setting, to ensure a fair assessment is made to each recipe by all teams across Australia & New Zealand. Points will be awarded on the cocktail recipe, cocktail sales and in-venue and social media promotion. 

“Finalists will be announced via the Plantation Rum Asia Pacific Facebook and Instagram pages on 1 September.

“On Monday, 20 September, the finalist teams will compete against each other for the first major title of Plantation Rum’s kind, a luxury experience provided in the winners’ home location and a ‘Welcome to Summer’ Party in the winning venue on 1 December.”
