Torbjörn won the award for his signature cocktail, The Magellan, as he beat competition from Antonino Pepe representing P&O Cruises Australia, Alexandra Muresan of Celebrity Cruises and Fabricio do Santos from Carnival Cruise Line in the final in Puerto Rico.
“The standard of entries for the Bacardi Legacy Cruise Bartender of the Year 2020 has been incredible,” Bacardi Global Travel Retail International Key Account Manager (Cruise) Zachary Sulkes said.
“We’ve organised similar competitions in the cruise sector for 15 years now and, once again, I’m amazed by the growing professionalism of the participants year-on-year and the skills they demonstrate in creating their own unique premium cocktail recipe, led this year by Torbjörn.”
Praising Torbjörn’s success, Tallink Duty Free Beverage Manager Nele Nedaškovskaja added: “This award means a lot for us and proves that everything is possible. I’m sure it will have a positive impact on our entire team of creative bartenders, motivating them to create new, amazing cocktails for the next Bacardi Legacy competition. We are immensely proud of Torbjörn, his professionalism, creativity and skills as a world-class bartender.”
Torbjörn will now represent the cruise channel in the Bacardi Legacy Cocktail Competition global finals in Miami in May, where he will compete with 40 domestic market winners from across the globe.
