Fastest Hands in Las Vegas Mixes 253 Cocktails in 60 Minutes using DeKuyper Cordials and Hornitos Tequila

The fastest hands in Vegas are typically found at the blackjack or poker tables. Today, there is a new sheriff in town! Beam Global master mixologist Bobby G Gleason set a new Guinness World Record by mixing 253 delicious cocktails in 60 minutes. Using DeKuyper® cordials and liqueurs and Hornitos tequila, the record-breaking feat topped the previous record of 179 cocktails in 2004. The record was completed in front of the industrys leading bartenders and distributors at the Nightclub & Bar Convention & Trade Show to demonstrate just how quick and easy it is to mix up creative cocktails.

Bobby G averaged just over four cocktails per minute. A natural fit for the competition, DeKuyper®, the best selling line of cordials and liqueurs in the United States with nearly 60 flavors, and Hornitos Tequila, one of Americas original and favorite 100 percent Agave tequilas, came together to form the colorful cocktail menu featuring a wide range of flavors that could satisfy any palette.

Todays cocktail culture means more people are entertaining at home, but many are intimidated about serving their own signature drinks. In mixing 253 cocktails in 60 minutes, Bobby Gs goal in addition to setting a world record was to eliminate the pressure of mixing cocktails.

Its all about balance, said Bobby G. When you have an excellent, super premium base spirit, like Hornitos tequila, and a variety of DeKuyper cordials, you can start to experiment and expand your home bartending skills. Combining great flavors and quality spirits thats when perfect cocktails come alive.

In setting the world record, Bobby G proved that there is more to tequila than shots. By pairing the fine line of Hornitos tequila Plata, Reposado and Anejo with nearly 60 flavors of DeKuyper, Bobby G created 70 margaritas, including the Hornitos Blueberry Margarita and DeKuyper Pomegranate Margarita. These cocktails are memorable and fun and easy to make. For a complete list of cocktails Bobby G prepared, visit www.DeKuyperUSA.com in early March.
