The United States Cocktail Championship (USCC) is the national qualifying program through which the United States Bartenders’ Guild selects members of Team USBG—the bartenders who will carry the flag for the United States on the international stage.
Throughout February and early March, USBG Communities nationwide will select up to two Community Champions in flair and classic bartending categories. These champions will advance to Regional Championships, where the top-scoring bartenders earn their place at Nationals and the opportunity to represent the United States as part of Team USBG.
