About 750 commerce members, model companions and media mates had been invited to essentially the most celebrated annual occasion in China’s bar trade on Monday, March 13. Theo Watt, founding father of DRiNK Awards, and Eddy Yang, winner of our Founders Award in 2018, stepped on the stage because the hosts of the awards ceremony. To acknowledge what the trade had overcome and achieved in a very difficult yr, a complete of 20 classes had been offered.
With a brand new rule for DRiNK Awards 2022: earlier winners couldn’t win the identical award once more if they’d received it within the final two years. This enabled extra venues, people and types to shine in such an unlimited and diversified market as China. Because of this, CMYK turned out to be the largest winner tonight: this energetic bar in Changsha, a metropolis that had hardly been seen on China’s cocktail map, took residence two vital awards – Cocktail Menu and New Bar of the Yr, whereas its founder Ethan Liu and bartender Tong Yang received Founders Award and Younger Bartender of the Yr respectively.
Shanghai continues to be undisputedly the cocktail capital of China with EPIC named Bar of the Yr and Allen Fang (The Nest/Dreamsicle) named Bartender of the Yr.
Right here is the complete listing of the Nationwide DRiNK Awards 2022 winners:
