Earlier this year, Montero competed against five other Miami bartenders for the regional title of best bartender at the Marie Brizard Cocktail Challenge.
That won Montero a trip to New Orleans to compete in the national competition at Tales of the Cocktail, where Montero won the U.S. title and a place at the 30th annual Marie Brizard International Bartender Seminar and Competition in Bordeaux, France.
