Campari Drinks Academy: Monica Berg
Monica Berg will head up Campari Group’s globally expanded Campari Academy.
Campari Academy has created a strong local network of physical hubs in key markets around the world over the last 10 years, and the global digital expansion will now create a platform that is accessible to bartenders worldwide.
The new global version is described as a ‘first of its kind educational platform for the international bartending community, which provides a unique blend of a globally accessible digital space with an established and successful network of physical hubs for the industry to come together, taking inspiration from outside of the drinks industry to educate, connect and inspire bartenders at all levels of their career on a global scale in a way that’s never been seen before’.
As Creative Director, London-based bartender and entrepreneur Monica Berg will provide insight and knowledge to help others look at bartending as she does, including taking inspiration from a variety of sectors.
Her work includes Muyu liqueurs and critically acclaimed London bar Tayēr + Elementary with partner Alex Kratena – recently named as the second best bar in the world at The World’s 50 Best Bars 2021.
She was named as the most influential international bartender in Drink International’s Bar World 100 2021, and in 2021 won International Bartender of the Year at Spirited Awards, Tales of The Cocktail, and Bartender’s Bartender by The World’s 50 Best Bars.
She is co-founder of P(OUR), an industry non-profit and charity, which works to expand drinks knowledge across the bar community and supports communities producing regional ingredients for the drinks and food industry. She also launched BackOfHouse.Info, a free online resource for small businesses to get anonymous feedback from their teams.
