2019 Competition
Considered as one of the leading international cocktail competitions, Patrón Perfectionists 2019 encompassed bartenders from 30 countries and cruise liners across six continents.
Patrón Perfectionists is more than just a cocktail competition.

From as far afield as Israel and Colombia, bartenders around the globe will compete in national finals taking place from September 2019.
22 winners, top bartending talent from around the world, will then jet off to Mexico in January 2020 to compete in global finals week. The competition will culminate at the beautiful home of Patrón Tequila in Jalisco, Mexico where the global winner of Patrón Perfectionists will be crowned.
