The Bar Boss competition is operated by Colossal as a fundraiser on behalf of DTCare, a nationally registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

PHOENIX, March 6, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Colossal, the global leader in fundraising through online competitions, proudly announces the phenomenal success of its Bar Boss competition presented by Dos Hombres, raising over $2.2 million for the Kind Campaign. This groundbreaking initiative brought together thousands of bartenders nationwide to vie for the prestigious title of Bar Boss, with Mirian Dautaj emerging as the People's Choice for 2023.

Dautaj, owner, lead bartender, and charismatic face of Drinkology NYC, an upscale cocktail bar and restaurant in Long Island City/Astoria, Queens, has been voted in as the 2023 Bar Boss by the public and will be featured on the cover and in the pages of BARTENDER® magazine. With 18 years of experience in Albania, Europe, and NYC and over 20 personal recipes under his belt, Dautaj is not just a master mixologist but a showman who stirs up quality cocktails, captivating the senses of his patrons.

"Being a great bartender is not just about mixing drinks; it's about creating an experience, connecting with people, and leaving a lasting impression," says Dautaj.

"Being a great bartender is not just about mixing drinks; it's about creating an experience, connecting with people, and leaving a lasting impression," says Dautaj.

See the attached video for a sneak peek of his epic photoshoot at The Americano restaurant in Scottsdale, AZ, during the Bar Boss winner experience. Looking ahead, Dautaj envisions Drinkology becoming a household name, aiming to be recognized among the 50 best bars in the US. Follow @drinkologynyc for exciting new cocktails and special promotions.

The Bar Boss competition also recognizes Master Mixologist Carlee Carvalko, the Denver-based bar manager at Terminal Bar, who was chosen by BARTENDER® magazine for her outstanding "Dog Days" cocktail, a fusion of rich and savory notes complemented by a light and sweet undertone. Carvalko's nine years of experience shine through in her carefully crafted Dos Hombres mezcal-based creation, adding a unique twist with cornbread simple syrup, evoking nostalgia and warmth.

Colossal, known for its impactful fundraising campaigns, proudly supports the Kind Campaign through the Bar Boss competition. Founded by Lauren Paul and Molly Thompson in 2009, Kind Campaign has emerged as a global leader in the fight against girl-against-girl bullying through various initiatives, including a documentary film, school assemblies, Kind Club Curriculum, Kind Camp, and a supportive online community. Crucially, the funds raised through the Bar Boss competition will aid Kind Campaign in delivering its impactful programs. With its unique approach, Kind Campaign reaches Title 1 schools and communities that often face funding challenges, significantly impacting those who may have otherwise been overlooked.
