“This is a tremendous opportunity to learn from some of the best in the global beverage industry and bring that knowledge and experience back home to Antigua and Barbuda,” Davis said.

“I look forward to applying what I learn to support, mentor and inspire bartenders and emerging beverage professionals as we continue to elevate the standard of our local hospitality industry.”
