Meimi Sanchez, Senior Brand Manager The Blend Global said: “At The Blend, we live by our ethos of ‘By Hospitality, For Hospitality’ and this World Bartender Day we’re creating a collective moment of celebration for the immensely rewarding career of bartending whilst investing in the future of the industry with the launch of The Blend Connects. Here’s to bartenders across the globe!”
The activity will be supported by virtual World Bartender Day celebrations from The Blend’s live markets in USA, India, Germany, New Zealand and Australia.
