The American GN Chan won the Bacardí Legacy Global Cocktail Competition in 2016

Chan, who works at Angel’s Share, New York, shot to victory with his cocktail Venceremos – a combination of Bacardi Carta Blanca, coconut liqueur, pineapple juice, cucumber juice, lime juice and a dash of sesame oil – inspired by the Piña Colada.

Now in its eighth year, the BACARDÍ Legacy Global Cocktail Competition continues to grow in scale and status as one of the world’s most prestigious cocktail competitions. Thousands of entries from forty five countries were received during the year-long national rounds that culminated in tonight’s global final. Over the last seven years the BACARDÍ Legacy Global Cocktail Competition has given birth to several modern classics, most recently last year’s winning cocktail Le Latin, by Franck Dedieu, which can now be found in bars across the world.
