Kevin Hart and Gran Coramino Tequila Crown the 2nd Annual Coramino Cup Bartender of the Year!

Bartender Barrymore “Bud” Shaw from Phoenix has been crowned the 2nd Annual Coramino Cup Bartender of the Year Winner!

Presented by Gran Coramino Tequila and Chilled Magazine, the Coramino Cup featured six talented nightlife bartender finalists: Anthony Wells from Los Angeles, Paul Gomez from Chicago, Barrymore “Bud” Shaw from Phoenix, Madison Sperry from Miami, Monica Fung from Las Vegas, and Jahmaal Gross from Las Vegas. The final round saw Shaw, Gross, and Wells, face off, with each contestant delivering creative cocktails under the skillful eyes of judges Chai Lee–winner of the inaugural Coramino Cup, Chilled Magazine’s Wendy Hodges and Gina Farrell and seasoned bartender, Szymon Tralka.

The one-of-a-kind bartender competition celebrates and shines a light on the hustlers of nightlife and high-energy spots that often go unappreciated. These bartenders are known in the industry as some of the hardest workers on the floor.

Congratulations to Bud and our five finalists! You brought your heart and hustle! Kevin Hart, Gran Coramino Tequila, and Chilled Media would like to thank all the participating bartenders! See you next year!
