Think making a Daiquiri is easy?

Try making one perfectly… against the clock… with a crowd watching.

The JimmyRum Daiquiri Speed Comp is back, and this year the action is heading to Holy Grail on Chapel Street, where Melbourne’s quickest bartenders will go head-to-head for cocktail glory.

Whether you’re in the industry, a cocktail enthusiast or simply love a bit of friendly competition, this is one Monday night worth making plans for.

Eight bartenders. One champion.

After visiting bars across Melbourne in search of the city’s fastest Daiquiri makers, Holy Grail’s Manager Ilich and a panel of tasters have narrowed the field to the eight fastest bartenders.

Now it’s time for the grand final.

On Monday, 20 July, the finalists will battle it out live to claim the title of JimmyRum Daiquiri Speed Comp Champion.

Speed matters. So does precision. And, of course, making a cracking Daiquiri.

Representing some of Melbourne’s best-loved bars, this year’s finalists come from:

  • Jane Doe
  • Electric
  • Union Hotel
  • Bar Bianco
