Bannie Kang, a South Korean mixologist who slings cocktails in Singapore, has been crowned the world’s best bartender 2019 at a major international competition hosted by booze giant Diageo.

At the 11th annual Diageo World Class Bartender of the Year competition, Kang outshook and outstirred 52 bartenders from around the world in the final round of heats that took place across four days in the Netherlands and Scotland.

In Singapore, Kang is the head bartender of Anti:Dote bar at the Fairmont Singapore, which specializes in progressive, modern cocktails made with housemade bitters, homegrown herbs and flowers, premium spirits and flavored sodas.

Throughout the competition, finalists were challenged to concoct environmentally-friendly drinks “with a sense of community at their core” and to create cocktails using a mystery box of ingredients and bar tools.
