This Italian classic liqueur is inviting UK bartenders to create two new Fernet-Branca cocktails. The six finalists will visit the Branca Distillery in Milan for the final and the winner will also receive a £1,000 cash prize.

'One for me, one for you'
Using the concept of 'one for me, one for you' one drink should appeal to your own tastes and the second drink should have a strong consumer appeal.

The 'one for me' bartender's choice cocktail should include a minimum of 20ml Fernet-Branca while the 'one for you' with wide consumer appeal should include at least 10ml.
