Mixologists from Constance Hotels and Resorts set to work to impress the judges in the Chamarel Bar cocktail competiton at this year’s Culinary Festival Bernard Loiseau.
Mixologists: Ashvin, Jimmy & Alexandre
The jury, composed of two members of Jack Daniels, commented on how gifted and surprising the three competitors were, and stated that: ‘the overall level here in Constance Hotels and Resorts is higher than in the rest of Mauritius, the only thing they lack being self-confidence’. Another great night spent with Chamarel Rhums, for both the competitors and our guests.
