Netflix’s new show Drink Masters puts cocktails in the front seat. A dozen mixologists from all across North America are competing to earn the title of Ultimate Drink Master — and take home a nice cash prize, too.

Alex Velez is currently working as the Beverage Director at Lost Spirits Distillery, LLC., Las Vegas. He has previously worked as a Bar Lead at The Battery. Growing up in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Alex Velez has been working in restaurants for more than two decades! Around this time, working behind the bar at some of Puerto Rico’s well-known establishments was when he also started competing and winning in Cocktail Competitions. It was these years that laid the foundation for his success in the bartending scene, even after he moved to San Francisco in 2013.

Alex Velez will join the 2023 Bartenders Spirits Awards judging panel. The aim of the spirits competition is to provide independent and honest reviews for brands targeting the U.S. bar trade. The judging panel consists of some of the most renowned names in the U.S. bar industry, with extensive expertise in the on-premise industry. The result will be a relevant and practical source of reference for bartenders, bar managers, bar owners, and other industry professionals when making purchasing decisions for their establishments.
