#CalvaClub is more than just a competition

Launched by IDAC in partnership with ForGeorges.fr, the 1st edition of the #CalvaClub mobilized 67 bartenders from the four corners of France; 67 videos of Calvados cocktails were posted on the social networks, which allowed to showcase all the creativity and talent of these professionals.
12 candidates were selected, then invited to discover the ecosystem of Calvados in Normandy. Visits to distilleries, apple tree grafting, blending workshop: the bartenders experienced total immersion in the universe of the spirit... before competing under a great blue sky in front of the five jurors!
Each candidate had 10 minutes to propose 6 glasses, explained the recipe in details , shown some pedagogy… and even answered a few trick questions about Calvados (in English). 

 

 

They all did their best and it was finally Ugo Moretto who won with his "Globe Bouilleur" cocktail.
This talented 29-year-old bartender, who works at the Fief restaurant in Paris, won the sum of 1000 euros and will represent Calvados at Bar Convent Berlin from October 11 to 13.

 

An incredible weekend and lots of memories.
