Leon’s cocktail, called Saint and Sinner, focused on the duality of the flavour profiles of two of the main ingredients – the citrus of the Cointreau and smokiness of Johnnie Walker Black Label. Leon, a bartender from Grosvenor Casino, astounded the judges with his concoction.
They were impressed that all the details were so well thought through, from the glassware to the flavour combination and scent of the garnish. Made up of Cointreau, St Germain Elderflower Liqueur, Johnnie Walker Black Label and finished with an orange garnish, Saint and Sinner was a real crowd pleaser at the competition and managed to shake off talent from 51 other Grosvenor Casino venues.
Being able to do this for a living, and winning titles like Bartender of the Year, is a dream come true for the 24-year-old. Leon says he is passionate about bartending and cocktail-making, and loves to make creations for friends and watch cocktail chemistry on YouTube.
