Sudeera Fernando

Dubai, UAE

Signature Cocktail Jalisco Swizzle

Sudeera Fernando‘s recent victory at the Patrón Perfectionists competition in The UAE is no surprise, given his philosophy when it comes to bartending: always aim for perfection and put a personal touch on every creation. Sustainability is also an important part of his craft, which was evident in the Jalisco Swizzle – a sweet and herbaceous cocktail that incorporated every element of a whole pineapple. In addition to the recent victory in Dubai, he’s won numerous other competitions, including being named Finalist in The World Class 2016 Mastering Fruits and Plant Challenge.
