Cocktail Awards returns 2023!
The wait is over. In 2023 we will once again welcome top bartenders from the whole world to Dala to compete in the eighth Hernö Gin Cocktail Awards. The latest global final of Hernö Gin Cocktail Awards was held on 24 August 2019 at Hernö Gin Distillery, in the heart of the High Coast of Sweden, where competitors from ten countries showed off their skills.
The 2019 Cocktail Awards was an experience far out of the ordinary giving our guests the opportunity to explore a new world of cocktails with bartenders from all around the world. The winning cocktail, ”God’s Country”, was something really far beyond, flavored with red ants and sea water.

The most challenging gin competition in the world
Hernö Gin Cocktail Awards is our yearly cocktail competition. The most challenging and unique gin competition in the world. Skills, creativity and the bartenders ability to challenge limits is crucial. As well as crossing borders and unite a world of bartenders in friendship and joy. Last year’s mission was to create a mind blowing cocktail based on what the competitors foraged and Hernö High Coast Terroir Gin 2019. Many were called, but few were chosen. In the end there was only one: Raphael Redant from Australia was crowned as the winner of Hernö Gin Cocktail Awards 2019.
