A BARMAID'S high energy cocktail-making routine could lead to her being named Britain's best bartender.
Julie O'Neill, 20, from Washington, Wearside, was spotted by judges at TGI Friday's at Teesside Park, near Stockton.
She has been chosen to take part in the regional bartending finals in Leeds on Monday, and if she wins, will go on to the final in London.
Miss O'Neill said: "I have been a bartender for six months, but I will be tested from a recipe manual that has more than 500 cocktails, so it is quite daunting."
She qualified for the finals ahead of about 300 entrants.
