Diageo World Class HK & Macau 2022 was kickstarted with World Class Studio on 24th February. We are delighted to have our 3 judges and Diageo Global Brand Ambassadors Mark Moriarty and Tim Philipps Johansson to inspire us with fruitful content of Johnnie Walker and Tanqueray, and lifestyle influencer Torres Pit to share the tips on standing out on Social Media.

In March, the competition began with two virtual challenges, followed by the Top 15 bartenders joining the Entry Round Live Judging on 20th April. The Top 6 finalists are: Alexander Ko (Draftland), Alvin Lee (The Old Man), Jo Lo (Room 309), Jury Christian Rodrigo (Sugar), Lydia Wong (Sugar) and Rheiden Peregrino (Premiere Bar at Studio City Macau).

On 31th May, we had the Final Showdown hosted across two venues simultaneously in HK & Macau. After an exciting night of showcasing Top 6’s mastery and passion for mixology through the livestream, the Bartender of the Year HK & Macau 2022 goes to Jo Lo. She will represent Hong Kong and Macau at the Global Final in Sydney this September. Big Congratulations to Jo and every bartender who has participated in World Class! You all demonstrated the passion and enthusiasm in mixology, cheers!
