Luxardo will be hosting the competition, which is taking place at the Boutique Bar Show.
Entries should be submitted by 1 September for the cocktail competition, which was won by Elliot Ball of Shaker & Company bar, with the “Torreglian Accord”.
Matteo Luxardo of Luxardo said: “I very much look forward to the 2013 Masters of Maraschino. I am extremely happy to judge such highly talented mixologists every year, and to host winners at Luxardo in Italy.
“The cocktails over the years have been beautifully original and very well created. Luxardo Maraschino is a key ingredient in classics like the Aviation and Martinez, and some of the exciting new maraschino mixes are set to be future classics.”
The judges will include the UK Bartenders Guild and Luxardo, with the cocktails to be judged on taste, skill and the perfect balance.
The competition’s top prize is a visit to the scenic home of Luxardo in Italy, hosted by Matteo Luxardo and the Luxardo family, plus an authentic vintage bottle of Luxardo Maraschino. There are further prizes and surprises for the runner-up and all finalists.
