A number of incredible submissions were received for the second annual USBG Presents National Prosecco Week Cocktail Competition. This competition invited bartenders to submit a cocktail recipe featuring Prosecco DOC to honor the Consorzio Tutela Prosecco DOC and to celebrate the upcoming 8th edition of National Prosecco Week (June 2-8).
This year’s competition brought together an impressive lineup of talented mixologists. Each competitor showcased their unique skills and creativity, presenting cocktails that were as visually stunning as they were delicious. Our judges had the difficult task of selecting five finalists based on Balance, Craft, and Creativity.
Join us in raising a glass to the 2025 National Prosecco Week Cocktail Competition Top 5, who will be competing in the National Final in Las Vegas on June 2.
