Dublin bartender Siobhán Darker has picked up the award for Ireland's Best Margarita.
Cuervo Tradicional presented the accolade to Darker, who is from George's Street bar Nolita, at the live finals in the city centre last night.
The competition saw nine finalists battle it out in front of a panel of four judges and a room full of margarita fans.
Using Cuervo Tradicional, the criteria for judging was based on inventiveness and quality in both the recipe and presentation, as well as a high level of technical skill.
Siobhán Darker has won a trip to the home of Cuervo in Tequila, Mexico.
