Peter Sandström, CEO of Angostura® , comments: “The Angostura® Global Cocktail Challenge is the 10th anniversary of the competition and we wanted to do something special to mark the occasion. Partnering with Jillionaire made so much sense as his roots are inherently connected to the House of Angostura® . He has a strong understanding of Angostura’s place at the heart of Trinidad & Tobago culture, enormous passion for locally inspired music and drinks and his global following helps elevate the competition to showcase the extraordinary talents of our competitors to an international audience.”
The nine finalists of the Angostura® Global Cocktail Competition 2020 are: Shana Rajahram (Trinidad & Tobago), Marv Cunningham (The Bahamas), Chad Lawrence (Canada), Gustavo Costa (Brazil), Mike Jordhoy (France), Rohan Massie (Australia), Simon Dacey (United Kingdom), Vasile Dorofeev (Dubai) and Agung Satria (Vietnam).
Jillionaire, best known for his contributions to Major Lazer, an American electronic music group, brings a keen interest and understanding of the bar industry as part-owner of Clyde’s, a Trinidadian cocktail bar in Brooklyn, New York. He is well prepared to see the nine finalists compete, as they aim to wow the judges with cocktail prowess.
Jillionaire shares why he’s proud to join the Angostura® Global Cocktail Challenge judging panel: “I am a proud supporter of Trinidadian culture and have a personal interest in cocktail culture and one of our island’s biggest exporter - Angostura® . Angostura’s historic bitters are known the world over. I’m keen to shine a light on our celebrated rum and amaro which capture the flavours of Trinidad & Tobago. Whoever goes on to win the competition, will not only be representing Angostura® , they’ll be representing our island on the world stage, something I take seriously.”
