The UAE edition of the Monin Cup, a worldwide competition that brings together bartenders aged 27 or under to develop award winning drinks with Monin products, is set to take place in Dubai on October 23.

The search for creativity among the young bartender generation is at the heart of this competition, alongside the passion to discover new talents and latest trends in mixology, the French firm told Caterer Middle East exclusively. 

Monin marketing manager Pierre Fraboulet said: "It is interesting for us, as Monin, to be close to the next generation of talented bartenders and we want to help them by giving them exposure, as well as the opportunity to show who they are and what they do."

Continuing, he added: "We receive messages from people who are above 27 who want to participate but we encourage them to, instead, help one of their bartenders out by being a mentor."
