Casoni Fabbricazione Liquori, a historic distillery based in Finale Emilia that in 2024 celebrates its 210 years of history, is pleased to announce the first edition of COPPA CASONI , the Cocktail Competition in collaboration with BarTales that will bring together some of the most creative and innovative bartenders on the Italian mixology scene.
12 bartenders selected by invitation from 4 Italian cities (Rome, Bari, Messina and Milan) will challenge each other with shakers and signature cocktails, capable of celebrating the authentic flavours of good Italian drinking and the art of mixology.
An exceptional jury will then decree the 3 best bartenders for each city, who will compete in the final scheduled for 10 December 2024 in Finale Emilia, at the Rulli Frulli Station .
Only the best will then access the final stage, where they will have to demonstrate their talent and ability to maximize the quality and versatility of Casoni spirits and liqueurs.
Among the references of the Modena distillery that will be used in the Cocktail Competition, Amaro del Ciclista , the favourite after-dinner drink for lovers of two wheels, Gin Tabar , the Original from the lower Modena area and the Aperitivo 1814 line, ideal for creating the classic Italian-style aperitif.
Below are the days dedicated to the selections for the Casoni Cup :
