The World Class Kenya competition enters its high-stakes semi-final stage, where the top 16 mixologists will go head-to-head for just five coveted spots in the national finals. The semi-finals will be hosted at the Tribe Hotel, Nairobi, setting the stage for an extraordinary showcase of creativity, skill, and storytelling.
This year’s semi-finals theme shines a spotlight on the power of shared moments. Moving beyond the traditional solo serve, competitors are challenged to design a communal cocktail experience—with The Singleton whisky as the foundation. The brief calls for a shareable, multi-sensory cocktail that delights not just the palate, but all the senses.
True to World Class tradition, the competitors are encouraged to push the boundaries of flavor, presentation, and theatre. The shared cocktail must be a visual and experiential masterpiece, blending luxury, creativity, and technical precision. Every detail—from the choice of glassware and garnishes to the drama of the presentation—will play a role in setting the winning creations apart.
The smooth, rich character of The Singleton offers an exceptional canvas for mixologists aiming to create bold, complex serves that could earn them a ticket to the finals.
Adding further excitement, this year’s judging panel includes Annette Mulama, last year’s World Class Kenya National Champion, who now returns as a semi-finals judge. Her participation exemplifies the competition’s commitment to nurturing talent and providing a platform for career progression—from competitor to mentor within the industry.
Ultimately, the winner of World Class Kenya 2025 will have the honor of representing Kenya at the World Class Global Final in Canada this September 2025.
The stage is set, the glasses polished, and the stakes higher than ever—let the ‘tea-time’ showdown begin.
