在全球决赛中，15位来自世界各地的精英调酒师进行了四轮个人赛和最终团队赛。在刚刚结束的决赛最终轮团队赛上，Atsushi Suzuki奉上一款以“天”为灵感的鸡尾酒Double Talk，最终力压来自法国、日本、瑞士和美国的参赛选手，加冕2017年芝华士大师。

Judges for the finals include Iain Giffiths (My Lyan), Micah Melton (Alinea Group), Chris Lowder (Proof and Company), Dre Masso (formerly from Potato Head) and Rogerio Igarashi Vaz (Bar Trench and Tram), and the competitors had to duke it out over four rounds of individual drinks making, before reaching a team stage on the final day of the competition.

Atsushi Suzuki的团队赛队友是评委代表Iain Giffiths、香港代表Ryan Nightingale和墨西哥代表Haba Flores。评委团表示，Atsushi Suzuki表现出的工匠精神、热情服务和对质量的专注，超越了语言和文化的隔阂，征服了来自全世界的热爱鸡尾酒的人士。

In the group round, Atsushi led his team consisting of Mexico's representative Haba Flores, Griffiths and Hong Kong rep Ryan Nightingale to deliver his signature creation, Double Talk (see below for recipe), inspired by his assigned theme, Heaven. He beat teams led by bartenders from France, Japan, Switzerland and USA to grab the win, and this eventually put him in good stead to take the title of overall champion at the global finals.
