London Spirits Competition entrants will now be able to submit cocktails for their spirit brands directly from the entry zone.

In a bid to raise the bar year after year and offer increased value to competition entrants, the London Spirits Competition has introduced a beneficial feature in 2022.

The competition prides itself on being one step ahead by thinking like the consumers who are potential buyers for the top award-winning spirits at the event. In doing so they are creating a bridge to connect brands with consumers in increased ways. The competition organizers constantly strive to listen and adapt its offer to give producers, suppliers, and importers clear and added benefits to enter their spirits.

The London Spirits Competition endeavours to provide media exposure to winning brands all through the year. This newly added feature is a way to do just that as consumers get access to cocktail recipes that they may create from their favourite spirits. 

Entrants for the 2022 London Spirits Competition will be able to upload their cocktail recipes and images beginning November 2021. Cocktails from winning brands will be showcased on the London Drinks Guide, directly to UK drinks consumers. These will also be highlighted on the London Drinks Guide’s social platforms. 

Entrants will be able to log in to their entry zone, and access the cocktail section, where entrants will be able to upload:

- Cocktail name

- Cocktail ingredients

- Method

- Picture

- Brand Story

The cocktail will then be displayed on the London Drinks Guide, London Spirits Competition blogs, and on company detail pages of the entrants so bartenders can also see how they can mix drinks with that spirit. Here are some examples of cocktail stories:

The London Spirits Competition looks to recognize, reward and help promote spirits brands that have successfully been created to identify with and target a specific beverage drinker. For any spirits brand to earn its place on a retailer's shelf or a restaurant's menu - and then vitally stay there - they need to be marketable and consumer-driven and not just produced in the general hope it can find enough people willing to sell and buy it.

That is why the London Spirits Competition is different. The competition will single out and shine the spotlight on those spirits brands that consumers really want to buy and have a clear market value for trade buyers.

The London Spirits Competition will judge spirits in three key areas:

1. Their quality.

2. Their value for money.

3. What they look like.

To be an award winner you will need to have a top-quality brand that offers both the trade and the consumer great value for money. The bottle should look good and truly stand out on the shelf and on the back bar.

Only professional spirits tasters are involved in the judging process.

As the competition is focused on quality, design, packaging and value for money it requires judges that have the professional experience of analysing spirits in all aspects of their commercial competitiveness. Points are allocated in all these key areas to come up with an overall score that will determine what medal, or not, a particular spirit is given. This year’s London Spirits Competition is now open for entries.

For any distiller, brand owner, producer or importer the competition is an opportunity to have your products assessed by the top premium on-trade spirits buyers in the country. 

Register your Spirits today to take the opportunity. Registrations will close on February 28, 2022.
