Padraig Storey, bartender at The Front Door Pub has been crowned as the All Ireland Cocktail Making Champion after winning the national final of the Jameson Barrelman Challenge.
Mr Storey, who is a native of Donegal, has been working in the city centre bar for almost a year and now will represent Ireland at the international leg of the competition, held in the prestigious Jameson Distillery in Midleton, Co Cork on Tuesday June 26.
The winning cocktail 'The Kiwi Mate', is the perfect combination of Jameson Caskmate IPA, 8 Degrees Citra beer, passion fruit, honey and lemon, garnished with fresh kiwi.
To celebrate the achievement, the Kiwi Mate will be served on the cocktail menu at The Front Door Pub this weekend so customers can sample the award winning drink.
