We Ask Chai Lee, Gran Coramino Bartender of the Year About The Coramino Cup

Kevin Hart and Gran Coramino Tequila search the nation for this year’s Gran Coramino Bartender of the Year.

Gran Coramino Tequila created The Coramino Cup bartender competition to celebrate bartender’s blood, sweat, and tears behind the bar. Gran Coramino is a new trailblazer in the tequila category, entrepreneurial entertainer Kevin Hart’s liquid celebration of success and hard work. Together with 11th-generation tequila-making legend Juan Domingo Beckmann, Hart marries his love of tequila with his passion for the hustle, birthing a spirit for everyone to celebrate their successes, both big and small, during their journey.

Now, this isn’t a mixology competition. It’s a competition about you and your hard work as a bartender. This celebration starts with the bartenders.

So, how can bartenders set a winning foundation for the competition? The Gran Coramino team reminds us that the Coramino Cup (and the bartending industry) isn’t only about who knows the most about cocktails or spirits. It’s about who has the hustle and the character behind the bar.

Last year, the Coramino Cup’s success has only built up more momentum, enthusiasm, and bonuses for 2024. The Gran Coramino team is stepping things up a notch. Beyond the $10,000 cash prize, this year’s competition will feature more engaging elements that highlight the incredible hustle of bartenders nationwide.

“Winning this competition has been an incredible journey, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunities it has brought,” shares Chai Lee, Gran Coramino 2023, Bartender of the Year.

“Working alongside Kevin Hart has been a true joy. Kevin’s dedication to his craft and his ability to connect with audiences have been inspiring. I am grateful for the chance to learn from him and to be a part of such a remarkable experience. Truly surreal. I am grateful that industry workers are gaining recognition.”
