The Cambridge Cocktail Weekend

The WFA Grand Slam at the Cambridge Cocktail Weekend is into its second year and with each edition it is getting better. 2017 was a hard fought competition with the likes of Miika Mehtio, Roman Zapata, Alexander Shtifanov, Deniss Trifanovs, Marek Posluszny and more all vying for that number one spot.

WFA Gradings

Many of you will know all about WFA Gradings and if you don’t you can always find out more here. Our very own talented Mr Tom Dyer takes you through what is required for each grade. From Yellow through to Blue, there is a lot to learn and master. You’ll be happy to see that after Tom has gone through the entire routine he continues to break it down move by move.

Not only are you required to get some pretty challenging flair bartender moves under your belt but you must also be able to create some classic cocktails too.

The most challenging, WFA Blue grade is coming very soon…
