Kayla Saito Shakes Up Australian Bartending | Melbourne News
Description
Melbourne’s got a new bartender queen—and she’s rewriting the script. Kayla Saito, Group Bar Manager at the Mulberry Group, just became Australia’s first-ever Diageo World Class Bartender of the Year, smashing barriers and setting a new standard in the industry. After two near-misses, she turned up the heat in the final speed round—something she’d struggled with before—and walked away victorious. Known for her inventive, eco-conscious cocktails, Saito’s win isn’t just personal triumph—it’s a badge of honor for Melbourne’s booming bar scene. Now she’s headed to Edinburgh this October to battle the world’s best, proving Australia’s craft cocktail talent is on the global map.
