Winner of this year’s Euroboozer and Stiegl ‘Summer of Radler’ cocktail competition, the Grapefruit Breeze Fizz cocktail is served in a Stiegl pint krug glass, based with Stiegl Grapefruit Radler, mixed with Tanqueray Gin, Select Aperitivo, Giffard Sirop de Cassis, freshly squeezed lemon juice and mint. It’s also garnished with a simple grapefruit wedge and a mint leaf.
The grand final of the Euroboozer & Stiegl ‘Summer of Radler’ cocktail competition took place in Birmingham last week, with MEATliquor bartender Dragomir Ivanov winning with his cocktail ‘Grapefruit Breeze Fizz’. Following a social media vote narrowing the list down to just five finalists, the cocktails were judged by a panel of cocktail experts at Albert’s Schloss in Birmingham.
Dragomir Ivanov’s Grapefruit Breeze Fizz stood out as the clear victor, receiving the lion’s share of votes and winning £1000 in prize money alongside a Stiegl Grapefruit Radler a day for a year.
