[:en]The second appointment with Mix Contest has crowned its winner and it's already time for the third stage.
It will be held on Tuesday 24 October, the location will be the beautiful Dehors of Eataly Lingotto which directly overlooks the urban Or-To and this time it will see 10 Bartenders from the Milanese scene compete, one of the cities that together with Turin best expresses the many facets of national and international Mixology.
The names are those that count: Francesco Bonazzi of MAG Café; Mattia Lissoni of Pinch; Salvatore Scamardella of Club Deco'; Luca Vezzali of Ugo; Patrizia Bevilaqua and Alessio Ribeiro of Clotilde Bistrot; Alessandro De Luca of Rufus; Gianluca Amoni of Fluffer; Ivan Patruno of Bulk; Francesco Cione and Mattia Pasolini of The Stage – Octavius; Federico Pounchain of Casa Mia.
Accompanying their creations will be a gastronomic selection of finger food personally curated by Eataly.
The format remains the same as the winning one of the first two events: 10 bartenders will abandon their counter for one evening to find themselves, all together, preparing signature cocktails for an audience that will put them in competition with each other and that will ultimately decree a winner.
For now, two stages have taken place, both with Turin bartenders selected among the venues of MT Magazine, the guide to the best Cocktail Bars in Turin and Milan. Two winners were crowned by the participants of the event (about 400 per evening), ready to “battle” in the super final challenge that will close a journey still full of events.
At the end of the challenge on October 24th we will know the third finalist, who will join his colleagues from Turin waiting for the champions' team to be complete and ready to battle it out in the super challenge that will crown the winner of the Mix Contest![:]
