The six steps to perfection of the Coca-Cola Signature Serve will be displayed by Dublin bar tenders in the Grafton Lounge in Dublin on Tuesday 4th November, following on from the successful Northern Ireland heat in Belfast last month.
Nathan Evans from Mary's Magherafelt and Dale Johnston from The Hillside Hillsborough emerged as the two Northern Ireland regional winners.
There will be four regional heats in total with the others taking place in Galway on 18th November and Cork on 25th November. A grand total of eight finalists will then compete with their own Signature Serve incorporating the six steps at an all Ireland final in January 2015. The finalists have a chance to win the trip of a lifetime to Atlanta, Georgia to visit the Coca-Cola World of Happiness.
