The Underground Punch Pong League (UPPL) is back for 2014, and Monin and Plantation Rum have joined forces to sponsor the Black Pearl Tour.
Last year, 96 bars from around the UK competed in the UPPL, which makes it one of the most widely supported comps in the industry.
The Black Pearl Tour and will be visiting 10 cities around the UK, with the final to be held at Covent Garden Cocktail Club during London Cocktail Week.
This year, the Black Pearl Tour will be combined with Monin’s 2014 Cocktail Cup regional heats, with the UPPL matches taking place after the cocktail comp. To enter a team in the Black Pearl Tour, you will also need to submit an entry into the Monin Cocktail Cup.
