The Asociación de Barmans de Tenerife (ABT) in conjunction with the Spanish Barmans Federation have announced details of the LXVIII Congreso Nacional de Coctelería.
At a recent press conference, Adeje council and the board and members of the Tenerife Bartenders Association gave details of the upcoming national convention, which will attract the best professionals of the sector from all over the country, and will take place in Adeje from December 10th to the 15th.
Councillor Mercedes Vargas Delagso, in charge of economic activity and employment, said the event will give people in the trade the chance to catch up on new trends and ways of making cocktails, with the help of the range of national professionals who will be here next week.
She added her thanks to ABT for having chosen Adeje for this congress, “because it will undoubtedly not only highlight the value of the Costa Adeje brand and our tourist destination, but also reflect the talent and professionalism of all the participants”.

Competitions during the convention will include the Schweppes and Gin Bruni Gin Tonics Competition, the Plantation Creation Challenge, and young bartenders (under 27) will have a special role in the "Monin Game's", a competition of French syrups in which they will develop their skills and demonstrate their genius and know-how with the surprise tests set by the brand. There will the grand final of the 3rd edition of Lady Amarena, organised by the company FABBRI, and the Presidents' Cup, which promotes the use of local products with the ‘km 0’ designation. And the flagship competition of FABE (Federation of Spanish Bartenders' Associations), Coctelería Clásica, which this year will be held in the Long Drink category, and its three categories, young Bartender, Bartender and Flairtender (Acrobatic Coctelería).
