The History of the AGCC
The first Angostura® Global Cocktail Challenge (AGCC) took place in April 2001at the Robinson Crusoe Pub at the Hilton, Tobago. In2011, the decision was taken to hold the Competition during Trinidad Carnival — the Greatest Show on Earth! The2017/18 Competition will be the 9th edition of what has become a key event on the International mixology calendar.
Finalists enjoy the experience of a lifetime while in Trinidad and Tobago, with a tour of the Angostura Distillery and Museum, visits to local steel bands, the chance to “play’mas” in full costume on Carnival Tuesday, and much more! It’s no wonder that the Competition has grown from strength to strength — indeed, the AGCC2016 saw the largest number of entrants to date: 287participants, drawn from 900 entrants, competed from 36 countries.
