The Austrian Bartender Award took place from 10 to 12 October 2021 at the Hotel Schloss Gabelhofen in Fohnsdorf, Styria.
Known as the Cocktail Summer Cup, it is a competition for creative and virtuous bartenders. The latest edition was launched under the new name of the Austrian Bartender Award.

The Austrian Bartender Award aims to be a place for networking and promotion of young Austrian bartender talents, and THRILL is always at the forefront to support the bartenders of the future!
Bartenders were given two THRILL TAPs, the THRILL model designed for mixologists. A mat with integrated glass cooler. Thanks to a low and elongated design it is ideal for the most demanding Flair Bartenders and Mixologists who can prepare cocktails using a large and reliable workspace, always clean and with integrated glass cooler.

14 participants from all over Austria, including a 14-year-old talent in the "non-alcoholic cocktails" category, competed against each other under the stern eyes of a jury of first-rate experts.

1st place Sebastian Lachinger
