Yesterday evening at ACE, some of the country's top bartenders competed in the national finals of the first-ever Punch Kings Competition by Cochon 555 and Breckenridge Distillery.
Among the contestants were NYC' Josh Wortman of Anejo, Atlanta's Trip Sandifer of The Spence, Seattle's Adam Fortuna of Artusi, and local bartender James Vickers of Williams & Graham. Josh Goldman of the Soigné Group in LA was crowned the King of Punch at the end of the event.
