A bartending duo from Cornwall have won a national cocktail competition, beating bars from around the country.
Nick Caputo and Charlotte Wilkins, who work at Falmouth's 8 Bar and Kitchen, created the winning drink for the Cocktails on a Grand Scale competition.
The contest, sponsored by Courvoisier Cognac, was held throughout the UK over several months with the grand final at London's Olympia Exhibition Centre.
The finalists presented their drink on stage in front of hundreds of onlookers at this year's Imbibe Festival.
Charlotte and Nick's interpretation of the brief, Cocktails on a Grand Scale, led them to create Jubilee Tea - a concoction of Courvoisier Exclusiv, Martini Rosso, Triple Sec and a homemade marmalade and Earl Grey syrup served with a little chilled Earl Grey tea.
The competition was very close, but in the end it was Nick and Charlotte who were crowned creators of Courvoisier's Grandest Cocktail.
Nick said: "The experience of imbibe Live was amazing - there was so much to see and taste. The competition itself felt natural and was a privilege to present our cocktail to that many people; it seemed everyone enjoyed the whole experience as much as we did."
