Butlers is calling for entries to its challenge, in which bartenders are asked to enter six consecutive challenges showing off various skills, including personal service style, innovation and building a signature cocktail, to stand the chance to compete in the live final to be held in Joburg on 9 December 2015.

"We are well aware of the significant amount of skill and practice required to become a really good bartender," commented Vanessa Nel of DGB, who is also one of the challenge's judges, "and we wanted to give back to this dedicated community by rewarding the best of the best for their expertise."
