This is the event that electrifies the cocktail world. On July 11, the French final of the Sustainable Cocktail Challenge will be held to elect the most eco-responsible mixologist in the country. An initiative created by the Flor de Caña rum house , as a logical follow-up to its commitments and coming just in time for Zero Waste Month , its anti-waste movement that aims to promote a waste-free month of July.
