In March we kicked off the first UK Cutty Sark Cocktail competition following the 85th anniversary of the creation of the brand.

The competition has generated tremendous interest from both the bartender community and cocktail enthusiasts with over 800 entries all competing to win a weekend in New York.

The six finalists have been chosen and voting will now start on selecting the UK’s favourite Cutty Sark cocktail.

The lucky winner will be announced on Friday, 13th June 2008 (unlucky for some!).

 Andy Pearson, the Bartender Guild’s 2007 UK Mixology Champion, will walk you through the six finalists’ recipes on drinkshop.com

There are some great Cutty recipes for the summer including “Restoration” and “Sail Away Sark”.

Please log on, watch the videos and vote for your favourite.
