Following the creation of a new Diageo GTME cruise line partnership for 2013, the GTME final featured the best bartending talent from Princess Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line. Dominic and his fellow competitors were tested on their bartending knowledge, skill and showmanship. Dominic truly impressed judges with his signature cocktail.
Dominic will go on to compete against the world’s best bartenders from over 50 countries at the Global final on 4th–9th July. The final will be held aboard a boutique cruise ship* in the Mediterranean, where Dominic will be vying for the title of Diageo Reserve WORLD CLASS Bartender of the Year.
