Novo Fogo Cachaça invited eco-conscious bartenders to enter an original cocktail recipe centering around the theme of sustainable drinking using its thoughtfully produced Bar Strength Organic Silver Cachaça.  

 

Out of hundreds of entries only TEN (10) sustainable and eco-friendly Novo Fogo Bar Strength Cachaça cocktails made it to the competition FINALS and asked to create a video explaining how their cocktail is eco-conscious.

 

*Winning cocktail videos will be announced TWO (2) per week in no order, for a total of TWENTY (20) winning cocktails.

 

Thank you to all the bartenders who participated. Stay tuned for the announcement of the FINALE DATE where the final 10 bartenders will compete for the Grand Prize trip to Brazil coming in September, 2022.
