[:it]Mix Contest Italy Tour: the cocktail challenge is back and will travel all over Italy in search of the best bartender![:]

[:en]The first edition of the Mix Contest Italy Tour, the national bartending competition that ended on Wednesday 17 April 2019, crowned Riccardo and Emilio Scroppo of the Highlander Pub Piazza Armerina in Enna, Sicily, as the winners. 

Now it's time to start over. 

The second edition of the cocktail challenge conceived by Laura Carello and created by the Turin-based events agency To Be is upon us, with a packed calendar of events that will tour Italy in search of the best of national mixology. 

The format is the same as the last edition, after all, a winning team doesn't change: 10 bartenders for each stage will compete in the creation of two cocktails each, representing their own cocktail bar and with the support of major partners who will provide the best the global beverage market can offer. High quality therefore, both in the products and in the protagonists, for an event that wants first of all to involve the general public in the art of mixing: the winner of each stage and also that of the national final will be decreed by the votes of the public added to those given by a technical jury.
