Finest Call World Bartending Support

  • Flair Bartenders Association
  • World Flair Association
  • International Bartenders Association

In 1995, the Finest Call Premium Cocktail Mix line redefined the on-premise mixer category with its innovative and bartender-friendly store-and-pour package, created specifically with professional bartenders in mind. The bartending community’s response was overwhelmingly positive to both the product and the brand, and Finest Call proudly began supporting the craft of bartending through various channels.

The Flair Bartenders Association was formed in 1997 and Finest Call was an original partner, growing alongside flair bartending’s rapid rise. Not only did Finest Call support the major flairtending competitions, such as Quest for the Best Bartender, Nations Flair Challenge, Blue Blazer Challenge, and Legends of Bartending World Championship, but continually reached out to support local and regional competitions as well.

As Finest Call grew, so did the worldwide popularity of flair bartending. During these years, Finest Call and flair bartending grew side-by-side, both increasing their global presence in the Americas, Europe and Asia. Finest Call was proud to align with the World Flair Association in 2007 to continue its support of the sport and reach new enthusiasts.

Finest Call has been a supporting partner in the World Flair Association competitions in London, Cape Town, Singapore, Tokyo and Moscow. As a cocktail culture renaissance swept the globe in the 2000s, Finest Call began developing a partnership with the International Bartenders Association, an organization dedicated to representing bartenders around the world. Finest Call joined the IBA as an Associate Sponsor and began supporting IBA competitions around the world including the IBA Annual Championships in Puerto Rico, Berlin, Singapore, Warsaw, Beijing and Prague in 2013.

Finest Call is also a sponsoring partner of the IBA Pan-American competitions held annually in either Central or South America. In addition to all the international-level support, Finest Call is also proud to support all national chapters of the IBA in countries where the brand is present. Finest Call looks forward to continuing its tradition of support for the craft of bartending and all who skillfully help the world drink better — one cocktail at a time.
