A mixologist from the Blind Pig has won first place the national finals of the Graham’s Blend Series Cocktail Competition.

He will travel to Porto for the global final for the 10 May, where he will take on bartenders from Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, Iceland, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Portugal, and South Korea - who won their nationals.
