The runner-up, Jasmine Manzoni from La Whiskería (Barcelona), the creator of the "Best Unexpected Negroni", also won the same award and will be able to enjoy the trip to Milan and Florence with Campari.
Likewise, all the finalists were able to show all their talent in the world of cocktails in a very close final. These were the three finalists: Erick Cruz López from Jacqueline Barcelona (Barcelona), Andrea Dimmito from Florería Atlántico (Barcelona) and Davide Norcini from Dr Stravinsky (Barcelona).
