Competitors are asked to prepare five rounds of drinks which include 3 signature 42Below cocktails, a vodka lime and soda and Caiprioska as they compete for a number of prizes.
The 7th annual 42 Below Cocktail World Cup will be launched on March 14 in Queenstown, New Zealand, culminating on March 18 with a grand final.
