Rhum Clément names Ti’ Punch Cup champion

A total of 17 international bartenders descended on Martinique last month for the first ever Ti’ Punch Cup cocktail competition hosted by Rhum Clément.

Dirk Hany was crowned winner of the Rhum Clément Ti’ Punch Cup cocktail competition

More than 1,400 people packed the Habitation Clément site to watch the global final on 11 March.

The agricole rhum brand, which is distilled in Martinique, selected finalists from 10 different countries following regional heats in France, the UK, the US, Belgium, Greece, Italy, Denmark, Martinique, Switzerland and Hong Kong.

In the UK, bartenders Tiago Semblano, of the Hospital Club, and Emily Reynolds, of the Blue Pig, were chosen to fly to Martinique from 9-13 March to compete in the final.

But battling his way to victory was bartender Dirk Hany, head bartender at The Widder Bar in Zurich, who triumphed to take home the first ever Ti’ Punch Cup trophy.

The competition will return for its second year in 2017. Further details can be found at www.tipunchcup.com.
