Great
Britain's Jamie Jones of No Fixed Abode has arrived in Mexico and is
currently competing with the best
bartenders in the world to be crowned
Diageo Reserve World Class Bartender of

Jamie who thought off tough competition
to be named British champion and reach
the finals in Mexico will take on
fifty-four competitors at the pinnacle
of their trade at the world’s biggest

will face the toughest of challenges,
from making show-stopping creations that

luxury ingredients including Johnnie
Walker, Cîroc, Ketel One vodka,

Julio, and a fine collection of single

before as the race begins to have Great
Britain’s best bartender take the crown
of the industry and become the WORLD
